Magic reduces the cube to 2-gen. It requires several years of training in professional wizardry to master.

Magic reduces the cube to 2-gen. It requires several years of training in professional wizardry to master.

Indeed. There are some hidden schools across the world where they teach wizardry. Or you can find a grandmaster to teach you, like Gandalf the Colorneutral, or Merlin BeardLong.
