"Give me a superpower related to technology and the control of it!"
Dante's demand was so predictable and obvious for anyone who had been following him for a long while. The young man had always been fascinated with technology and even chose such for his career path, which was the reason he even went down this magical road in the first place.
If you were to quote his focus on Quantum Entanglement and his magical powers over technology for solving his problems, you would be ignoring the obvious fact that pursuing personal power was always a must.
