Mmm...I think you're making him too weak. Reminds me a bit of Shirou from Fate/Stay Night actually in that aspect. Shirou only knew Strenghtening Magic, which was fine and all, but against real Magicians and any single Servant, it was pretty useless (though it did more or less save his life once or twice).

Only difference is, Shirou took a level in badass and became a badass archer remembered for being a nice example of M For Manly.

However, you could make your OC take a level in badass too, in the exact contrary to Shirou. While Shirou could only do 1 thing right and mastered it, your OC could learn how not depend on that 1 thing he does right, and use right anything else he could actually use.
