Omni Impotence

I found this definition of "Omni Impotence" on the very useful TV Tropes site, and it reminded me of the Pope:
A character has omnipotence, or near-omnipotence. However, the character ends up doing... well, not much. This could be due to a lack of imagination, lack of understanding, being overwhelmed by the power, or some other reason. They fail to reach some simple and obvious goals.

You are welcome to disagree with me and with each other. Civil debate is a valuable way to test and exchange ideas. Do keep it civil, though. Any really offensive craziness will either be held up as an example of What We Don't Stand For, or deleted.
