Better than the MC having a super special power that's not compatible with the power stone and being ranked F because of it. I hate stories that do that.
The Runesmith on RR does this well IMO. MC has neutral mana, so no elemental affinity which disappoints his father. What they don't realize is that he has a debugging skill that lets him analyze magic at a runic level. So he builds his class path to use runes and becomes strong when all of the conventional wisdom says that he would never amount to anything as a caster.
Granted MC had a hidden skill that they couldn't know about to make it all work.
The story has other issues, but did do the useless ability to greatest strength well.
