"Angel, do you now understand the relationship between mental models, magic power, and the magic source?" Sanders asked.
Angel nodded slightly. Compared with the obscure, difficult definitions in the books, Sanders's explanation had been far more detailed and easy to understand.

"Since you understand. Good, then based on what I said earlier, analyze this for me: why do ninety-nine percent of gifted individuals in the wizarding world grow old and die at the apprentice stage, unable to advance to become official wizards?" Sanders reclined with his arms folded, one leg crossed over the other, his sharp gaze fixed on Angel.
Why could apprentices not advance to become official wizards? Angel had actually pondered this question over the past few days.
Back at Pat Manor, Moro had once said that he himself had remained stuck at the intermediate apprentice stage, unable to advance because he lacked an opportunity.
So, was the answer that the "opportunity" had not arrived?
No.
If it were simply a matter of opportunity, why would Sanders have said all that beforehand? Besides, Angel himself felt that while opportunity was certainly important, did every official wizard advance solely through opportunity? Not necessarily.
Then what was the answer? Angel carefully considered what Sanders had said earlier—the relationship between mental models, magic power, and the magic source.
The inability to advance to an official wizard was due to insufficient magic power accumulation and a magic source that had not reached the required level.
Why had the magic source failed to reach the standard? Probably because the rate of magic power reflux was too low.
And what was the chief culprit behind that low rate of magic power reflux? The answer was obvious: the mental model had been poorly constructed.
Following that line of reasoning, an answer gradually surfaced.
