OB IMPROMPTU
Using the ‘Magic Square of Saturn’, clued by the title’s use of the word magic and the symbol for Saturn instead of the h in white, we can assign a number to each cubelet which has a white face. Use this number as an index into the answer and read in a circle (ignoring the center face’s 5) for the answer ALFRESCO.
