No, I do not understimate him, I simply say that his specialty seems to be Time and Space spells. While he's certainly capable of using the other 198 to grand effect if he so desires, his specialty does not seem to lie in elemental magic, which is where most of the battle potential lies.

There's a huge amount of different arcane disciplines within Kidou, it is after all the congleromate form over every mortal way of magic ever to exist. So naturally, while some ways are very battle-oriented such as the aforementioned Hado Specialists like Kazuya, others are focused on other points of magic. Such as my own Shigenaga Arma who utilizes the Way of Change. His spells allows him to control others, inflict powerful curses, raise the dead as Jiangshi and a great many other things, but as the discipline is very unsuitable to direct combat, he's someone who'd struggle to beat even a basic seated officer in a straight up fight. That does not make him less powerful, it simply makes him powerful in other ways.

If you want for him to do well in combat you should likely create a few lesser space/time spells which he can use fairly easly and with few repercussions. Largely offensive in nature I'd assume.
