Questionable Questing

Followup: How much of an energy-based element could they reasonably be expected to produce? (Such as someone with the Inferno Engine, could they snap their fingers and create a miniature firestorm constrained by their radius, or are they more like a strong firebender at first?)

Also, if someone took ALL the Engines of Ascension, even without any Brilliances, does that mean they could eventually become functionally omnipotent?

So, for how strong they can become in time, there's not an upper limit. If you're willing to work on the timescale of decades and centuries then you can get up to some pretty ridiculous stuff. As for esoteric stuff... you can do quite a lot of weird shit, but they're not semantic superpowers necessarily and the weirder it is the harder it is to figure out and do.

Now for what they can do out of the gate... for Inferno Engine I picture Zuko/Azula/Iroh in terms of raw production, but an engine would have way more control. You could do stuff like force the fire to turn at right angles, persist indefinitely rather than just be a burst, and so on.
