Scelemancy

Crafting magic
Scelemancy, or crafting magic is the practice of magic where the act of spellweaving is influenced by creation.
Scelemancy boils down to three subdisciplines: magic for crafting, magic from crafting and magic as crafting.
== Magic for crafting ==
Using magic to create something which wouldn’t be otherwise possible. This generally requires the practitioner having a special bond with the materials, a form of empathy that helps the materials become what the practitioner wants it to be in its mind's eye. This also connects to magic as a programming language. The resulting product doesn’t necessarily have magical attributes as a result.
== Magic from crafting ==
Crafting something with magical components so the finished product will have magical attributes that aren't commonly associated with the item. For example, a dowsing stick, a crystal ball, wand cores, fuelless lamps, synchronized bells etc.
== Magic as crafting ==
The action of creating something provides an effect: Molding a clay figure molds the target, but the finished figure has no inherent magical attributes. Also, folding paper into something will give the practitioner knowledge about how the object functions, learning such things as anatomy, medicine, biology, military tactics and more, working the smith’s bellows will allow one to become resistant to fire.
== Disambiguation ==
Not to be confused with enchanting, which is modifying the existing to add magical properties.
Not to be confused with invocation which is to call upon a source to execute an order or demand (among others, asking for magical items).
Not to be confused with conjuration which is to create something out of thin air, or summon it from elsewhere.
