Trent theorized that the escapades Bink was involved in were actually to arrange better security for him. This appears to be right. After all, by the time they're over, Bink isn't just in a high ranking position-no, he has an entire dynasty of Magician-Kings to protect him from any harm that may have come his way. And any new Magician or potentially dangerous person entering Xanth was quickly married off to a friendly character to keep them pacified. Given the fact that his talent can make small causes lead to large effects and that many Xanthly adventures relied on a small coincidence, it's possible that his talent is what led to all the Demon bets being won, and even in XANTH himself falling in love and getting tied down to help the inhabitants of the land.
