Wizardry
Early RPG franchise
Wizardry is the art or practice of a wizard—magic, sorcery, or supernatural power.
More commonly, wizardry describes exceptional skill that seems almost magical: His wizardry with computers saved the company, financial wizardry.
The word carries admiration for mastery that ordinary people can't replicate.
