About non-magic user names
Terms here range from neutral bureaucratic labels like "Centrics" and "Nonvoyants" to open sneers such as "Freaks". That spread lets you map a magical society's politics, with official census language, casual slang, and slurs muttered in wizard parlors. Pick two or three tiers and let which word a character uses reveal where they stand.
How non-magic user names are built
Each result is a single word from one 225-entry bank, no compounding, naming a mundane role or commoner type: "Cordwainers", "Vassals", "Pailcarriers". Many entries are plural occupational or feudal terms, and some are coined compounds like "Pailcarriers" and "Mortarfolk" that read as humble trades. The bank is the counterpart to the arcane magic-user pool, deliberately stocked with non-magical, working-class labels.

Naming notes
These name the ordinary folk of a setting, the laborers, vassals, and tradespeople who stand opposite the spellcasters, so use a result as a class label or a collective noun for a guild or underclass. Plurals like "Vassals" and "Cordwainers" read as a group; coined forms like "Mortarfolk" and "Flareless" hint at fantasy professions without magic. Pair with a given name for an individual, or keep the bare word for a faction or social tier.
Questions about non-magic user names
- What does non-magic user mean here?
- The bank is the deliberate opposite of the arcane magic-user pool, stocked with mundane working-class labels like "Cordwainers" and "Vassals". It names the ordinary folk of a setting rather than spellcasters.
- Why are so many results plural?
- Many entries are plural occupational or feudal terms, so a result like "Vassals" reads as a group or class rather than one person. Use it as a collective label, or pair a singular form with a given name.
- Are words like Mortarfolk real trades?
- Some are coined fantasy professions rather than historical trades. "Mortarfolk" and "Flareless" evoke humble non-magical work without naming a real-world guild, so they fit invented settings.
