Apparently people with such aptitudes also tend to be wack jobs, emotional cripples, or downright evil. The next candidates he tries to locate are even worse. The first candidate - a young woman that he has high hopes for (and some hopeful fantasies as well), disappoints him sorely when he finds her - and not only is she dumpy, plain and nerdy, but is holding up traffic to do a "witchy dance" in the middle of the road. Unfortunately, when Rupert starts investigating them, they all seem more hopeless than he could possibly imagine. His mentor has given him a list of candidates from our Earth - people who may have some natural aptitude in that direction. Unfortunately, his mentor has recently passed away (although he is still with Rupert in spirit, in an advisory sort of position), and it is now Rupert's job to find someone to step into the vacant position and start magical training. Rupert Venables is a magid - a member of a secret brotherhood of magicians assigned to to different worlds throughout the various planes of existence, who are supposed to keep things running smoothly.

They decide that it is better to put their faith in being powerful, in being dominant. This drama confirms for many men that they cannot put their trust in love. This testing does not heal the wound of the past, it merely reenacts it, for ultimately the woman will become weary of being tested and end the relationship, thus reenacting the abandonment. While the rejected adolescent boy imagines that he can no longer receive his mother's love because he is not worthy, as a grown man he may act out in ways that are unworthy and yet demand of the woman in his life that she offer him unconditional love. Often in their adult relationships these men act out again and again to test their partner's love. If the first woman they passionately loved, the mother, was not true to her bond of love, then how can they trust that their partner will be true to love.
