>How do you fly? Hell, how do you even learn magic in the first place?

>Yeah, that's a useful question... Why don't you tell us some things we can do to begin our study of magic? It can't be impossible.

Magic requires mental discipline as well as knowledge of spells. It's also significantly easier in a location already infused by magic, like Gensokyo. It's possible outside, too, but it's very hard to *learn* in a location that isn't. That's one of the other reasons that you see few *new* magicians in the outside world today.

"Everyone can fly in Gensokyo" because the spell for levitation is very simple and can be done even by someone not fully trained in basic magic, particularly for the reasons mentioned above. The main catch is that while it's easy to *fly*, it's not easy to fly *well*. It takes significant physical exertion and mental concentration. While this is typically effortless for someone who's spent hundreds of years doing it, like a Youkai, for an unpracticed human it is generally difficult enough that one can't fly fast, accurately, or long distances.

I would recommend that you don't bother to try to learn magic outside of Gensokyo. It's already difficult enough inside Gensokyo if you don't have a mentor -- outside it's surely impossible without one.

>If I love my waifu enough, will she eventually become a youkai as long lived non-humans are known to do?

Doesn't really work for humans. If it did, you'd most certainly see pop culture figures becoming Youkai, which would be rather frightening.
