Not spectacular enough. Hydrogen bomb.

We had these 50+ years ago. They were inaccurate by the military standards of the day(50 meter radius leeway, but I would want to be within that) but were meant to be used on the battlefield at ranges of 1-2 miles. That same warhead is now available as a variant for TV-guided bombs which are much more accurate and for mines and torpedoes.
When you consider they be used almost exclusively on enemy territory that is currently unusable by humanity anyway, I'd say they would definitely be an option used.

That thing has control issues. And what territory is both reachable with this weapon and unusable by humanity?

That warhead is used in nuclear torpedoes. That's what humanity would use against the Formor.

Any idea what would happen if you pollute the seas with nuclear waste? The Fomor would just retreat in the nevernever. They probably can handle radiation better than humans because of magical regeneration.
