You have a Traveler that feeds us this power that allows us to come back from the dead multiple times, we're talking about a Traveler that has the power to terraform Venus in to a habitable garden world, to me, those things are far more out there than certain weapons having odd mechanics, and that's fine, because this is a fantasy science-fiction universe, not a lot of it makes sense from a realistic point of view, because it's not supposed to.
