That only works if the target can't get out of the way.
Or is a Gear.Julian would just fly to the side, or even backwards. A direct hit would be chunky salsa, but with no way of telling how he's going to dodge(as the cabin is above deck, and you're ramming below), you can't aim at anything other than where he's standing shortly before you hit him.
Also, plot armor. Besides, don't you want to see more fluffy foxfire mage duels? Pewpew laserflames.
