There’s a TV trope for that: Reed Richards is Useless
It has a list of reasons mostly narrative and marketing driven, so if the source material doesn’t allow it then the films wouldn’t either.
Numbers 5:11-31 It details how a husband can “test” his wife with the Bitter Water-if she miscarries it was a bastard, if she’s “innocent” it doesn’t do anything. The version I saw has “16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water”. Presumably this is the recipe though there’s probably other versions with some more details.
