'short trip' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wrong to harness power' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'power' could be 'p' (symbol in physics) and 'p' is located in the answer.
'wrong' could be 'sin' (wrong can mean a sin or crime) and 'sin' is found in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
