Aight, I know I've been a bit of an inactive bean, but I need some help for my book idea.
So I'm having trouble coming up with a general name for all the magical creatures I'm going to use in my story. For example, sure, there are elves, mages, dwarves, fairies, sirens, etc etc, but what do I call the entire supernatural community in general?
To put this in perspective, there are humans in this world, and then there are the magical beings. Some have a name depending on the kingdom they live in, but I need a general term for all magical beings, and I'm stumped as heck in trying to find one.
I thought of maybe calling them mythics, but then I remembered that I read a book with that term and thought better of using someone else's idea.
I considered the term magici, but I'm not sure about that one. Nor mystics.
I thought of maybe calling them all Aetherians and saying the magic they are made up of is officially called aether, but I did more research on what Aether actually is, and that didn't work either.
I also searched up for different words for magic to try and come up with something from a synonym, but that's not working either.
So yeah, I'm stumped. Does anybody have some tips to help me try and figure this out?
