Way to make a comeback with introduction of a Royal Society magazine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arsenal

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

'magazine' is the definition.
(both can mean an ammunition store)

'way to make a comeback with introduction of a royal society' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'L' (abbreviation for left).
'to make' becomes 'ane' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'comeback' is a reversal indicator.
'with introduction of' is an insertion indicator.
'a royal society' becomes 'RS'.
'l'+'ane'+'a'='lanea'
'lanea' written backwards gives 'aenal'.
'aenal' going around 'rs' is 'ARSENAL'.
