    Yep, that’s the thing. The girl was walking around and got commandeered into loving this guy. So much for the illusion of free will.

    I would also have asked for a starship: reverse engineer that and you’ve single handedly saved the human race from the climate disaster.

      Nah, it’s magic, it can just make it so that the girl happened to be in the right place. Maybe it told the girl that she would find true love there and she decided to go.

          We’re getting into the nature of free will, whether or not it exists at all. One of the hardest questions we’ve never really been able to answer, and quite possibly never will.

          What if the well is merely looking into the infinite possibilities and determining who the true love is based on what will happen anyway? What if she also made a wish at another well at the same time, also for true love? What if she didn’t exist at all, prior to his wish, and was created as his true love?
