Dicekind is one of, if not the, coolest weapons in fiction ever and I wish they used it more

I realized it’s been a pretty long time since I drew anything homestuck related, and so I got inspired to draw a fighting (?) vriska with her dice!
Vriskamoding when I'm tired on a long walk so that I keep walking out of sheer will to not let the walk beat me
I've cre8ed a new tag for when I feel like this
I managed to make the Art Attack from Terraria's Calamity mod, and the way that weapon works in that game is that you draw a shape with your mouse cursor, and anything inside the shape gets hurt.
But in Sburb, you don't really have a mouse cursor. So instead, using it causes this disorienting as fuck out-of-body experience, where you view yourself from a huge distance, and the world as if it were a 2-d plane, with even distant enemies and players shoved forward to look like they're in the foreground, and it draws wherever you focus while that's happening.
Kinda neat. Can hit things that are really far away with it, and that weird visual viewpoint lets me see lit areas below and above me, which I was able to use in a dungeon once to find a secret room.
So, two questions for you:
1: Are there any other uses for it that I'm not thinking of?
2: What other examples have you heard of Sburb translating weird mechanics like that into reality?
Scouting seems to be the main thing I would use this for. Especially because this apparently lets you view things through walls? Good for sneaking as well, peering around corners. Be careful though, I can only imagine something sideways happens, your perspective clips through (or into) a wall, and you either see something you shouldn't have or just begin throwing up.
I honestly think dicekind is my go-to example of "weird translation of mechanics". First of all it isn't even "roll to perform action" or "roll to see damage number" like what most people think of when they think RPG dice-rolling, it's "roll on a table". And then it seems like the table is in some way procedurally generated, seeing as how it alters itself based on dice size, dice number, and it factors in alchemy. And the procedurally generated tables were alternately written by a Killer GM, a Monty Haul GM, and a shitposter. I don't fully understand it, I don't want to understand it, and everyone who's tried cracking the code ends up having their brain broken with alarming frequency. It's like an occupational hazard, like hatters also going insane, or mine field testers not having legs. I also don't like thinking about cardkind when it comes to competitive/collectible card games because it's exactly the same, except I don't even understand CCGs when they're not magical.
