Magical architect

The energy which runs the world allows those who can tap into it to manipulate the world around them. Magical architects not only use magic to enhance or reinforce buildings, but also create networks or energy conduits that increase efficiency. If asked to, magical architects could make buildings that would not be possible under ordinary circumstances. For example, they would be able to build an entire hospital in a matter of days by using the stone to mud spell.
