[UA] Old groups and power

[Michael Dinowitz]

So your basically saying that there's some point in time that divides the 'old' magic from the new? So a modern Jew studying the lore of his tradition has no chance of doing what his teachers could do? There's a fault in logic there. If a modern person, no matter how modern is studying a tradition that has existed unbroken for centuries then why would it be expected that it wouldn't work for him anymore? 
Is it that the stratosphere is now modern and rejects all older magics? So that means at some point all of those tribes we know nothing about in South America have just up and lost their magic even though they have no connection at all to the 'modern world'.
It just lacks something in my opinion.
