That's how long they trained in Master Oz's pocket domain.
Or rather, that's how long it felt. Time moved strangely in that space, that was a thing about alternate planes. And here, hours stretched into days, days compressed into moments.

And they suffered for it.

Fundamentals of Mana Circulation.
Advanced Summoning Theory.
Planar Mechanics and Dimensional Anchoring.
Combat Applications of Elemental Magic.
