I have to assume in the same way Robin in One Piece is.

With a big drat asterisk and things are always contrived for why he can't just win every fight after this.

The armor thing happens one other time that I can think of. But yeah, it's a shame considering how ridiculously powerful it is.

I would assume that he would need time to rebuild the armor if it's so powerful.

There's a couple things that only get used once in the manga because Araki Forget™, but get extra use in the anime at points it would've made sense.

There's another subtle detail here. In Episode 1, Avdol mentions that he would've melted the metal rod in midair with Magician's Red if he was attacked.

Here he gives Polnareff a knife to see if he intended to attack him from behind as a test of character. He probably would've let him burn if he actually threw it.
