If a scholar is talented, yet he could not find the right place to put what he learnt to use, can we say: he could not find the proper field to wield the power of his talent?

@oristarA,
You could, but it sounds rather silly nowadays" the 'wield the power of' part, I mean. Something like this is less flamboyant:

He could not find the proper field to use his talent effectively.

@Mister Micawber,
Long time no see, Mister Micawber.

I wonder why it is silly.
Hey, wait a minute. Have I asked this question in a silly way?
I'd save time and just use your what you've suggested.
