Extremely! Everyone thinks ol' Taako is all, uh, useless, but, jeez, I'm a fucking magic ace. Totally dangerous with it.
[Huffing a little bit of a laugh at that though.]
Yeah. That one, for example, makes a world where the mistake is fixed . . . but, uh, erases you from the one you're currently in, or locks you in a timeloop, over and over, trying to fix the very problem it caused over and over. My Grand Relic, the Philosopher's Stone, can transmuate anything to any other substance. In the wrong hands, well - you can turn a whole town into gold! But. That's the whole town. Every blade of grass, every speck of dirt, every person walking to the store.
So, I guess the lesson is, don't trust super magical items?

[???
Flayn thinks Taako is pretty great. But anyway, magic items. That, uh, that definitely sounds horrifying.]
...or be very, very careful with how you use them, I suppose.
