There are people who need to douse their passion for magic after a brutal self-assessment of their current status.

Has magic made them better persons?
Has magic improved their careers?
Has magic made them successful in other fields?
Has magic solved their problems?
Has magic made them well off in life?

If the answer to those questions is consistently "No,", they are better off abandoning magic and doing other things for the sake of their own survival, development, and evolution.
