[@IAmTheIsland] Absolutely! I'd be happy to give Wizard some connections. How does this sound:

Wizard had been a long-running but on-and-off teacher at the Sanctum of Sorcerers by the time Delaney Nadeau stepped through the doors. This was one of her worst teachers and easily had the biggest failure rate under his teaching. The first feedback she got for why the failure happened was 'needs to taste the dandelions'. Whether or not Delaney went out and ate a dandelion as a result of this, it would have brought her no closer to the absolute power she desires.

In general, Wizard tried his best to make his student see the odd side of life and find happiness in magic. However, his esoteric manner of communication might have resulted in more frustration for the young student rather than helping her see the light.

After a summer surf break from the Sanctum, Wizard returned to see a quarter of it blown out the side and many harmed from an attack from within. He proceeded to scry in order to find the culprit, only to get a glancing look at Violet Vile before a waved of purple energy crushed his arcane view. He recognised her and knew his failings to help her see good.

However, it may be the case that VV's failings in the eyes of Wizard might have revealed something that shes lacking in. Maybe he has some great arcane secret that she could not find. It may or may not be true; however, a girl who is hell-bent on the pinnacle of power might find certain paranoia in the strange, esoteric old man she simply couldn't figure out.

[@Eviledd1984] Small addition. I think Wizard's powers are far more powerful on willing targets and weaker on non-willing ones
