I've always seen that as the point of them myself, I have to admit. It's the drama factor "wow - he can kill you with a glance! Keep out of his way!"

But then I started wondering how/if you'd get that effect without knowing the Secret. Well, you improvise a "kill with a glance" feat off that Death affinity you've got a double mastery in, don't you? I'm not sure if this technique applies to all Secrets, but I don't see why not.
