Creative

Not to be confused with the traditional creativity, a great imagination or Empathy.   This kind of creative has the ability to give physical existence to an imaginary being. There is no official name for this ability, since nobody seems to know about it. Those who have experienced it, usually give it a convenient name in their minds and never talk much about it; some of them even think that it's a symptom of other condition such as a mental disease, or a vivid imagination, intoxication or brain cancer.   Just like many abilities, you either have it, or you don't. But if you do have it, you may never find out. It won't manifest on its own, and with it being completely ignored by apparently everyone, no one will show you how to trigger it. Nobody will warn you about it either, or tell you what not to do to make sure it never wakes up.   People may try to give you ideas to stop or control this ability —mostly psychologist, wizards, and people that is either weird or has high tolerance to weirdness. Psychologist will probably be wrong. Wizards will be right about some details. With the others.... it depends on a lot of things.   So far, this ability has been found only by accident, when the creative person practiced one or more activities, rituals or habits with the intention of gathering inspiration, focusing, or even to reach life beyond our world.   More often than not, the ability manifests once and never again but in some odd cases it has become a normal part of their life.

So, am I understanding correct that creatives make tangible imaginary friends? Or do they... It's a really fun and weird concept that I found inspirational so...
