I believe the answer is:

obi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sorcery' is the definition.
(I know that obi is a type of sorcery)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obi that I've seen before include "Material band" , "Japanese sash - African witchcraft" , "Sash worn on Japanese kimono" , "Spells" , "Japanese dress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
