Innova
Invention. Creation. Ingenuity. All things Cre'tani, but these are the main body of such inventions and the main population percentage of the people. Oddly enough, in such a magical world, much of the population of Cre'tani lack the innate connection to magic and are often considered commoners. Some have broke this seal however, and use their inventive manners to show the world that magic can be created with potions, science, and some brainpower.
