Sourcemage is a source-based GNU/Linux distribution based on a Sorcery metaphor of 'casting' and 'dispelling' programs, which we refer to as 'spells'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Mage

Source Mage's tagline is “Linux so advanced, it may as well be magic”, and its commands have a “sorcerous theme”. Each package is called a “spell”, and its package management program is called “sorcery”. To install a package the user must “cast” that spell. Casting a spell consists of downloading the source code (if it is not already downloaded), checking for dependencies, casting them if necessary, compiling the program, and installing it. A set of available spells is called a “grimoire”. To uninstall a package the user must “dispel” the spell.

It's like Gentoo, but magic.

I do. On my machine it takes about 30 minutes so I don't mind doing it once a month.

The small core is nice, but I don't see other advantages over Gentoo aside from SICP QUALITY terminology.

I do because I use musl and you can't make a proper static build with glibc, thanks to Drepper and friends. At least it builds faster than Chromium.
Cudder's browser can't come fast enough.
