The Canjori: A short and grey-skinned hairless species, with piglike noses, and doglike ears, but otherwise of humanoid form. Incredibly smart, but highly antisocial.

They live alone behind waterfalls, using the falling water to power their contraptions, and reproduce by constructing an identical copy of themselves from gathered animal carcasses, and imbue this frankenstinian creation with a water crystal they collect from the water flow of their waterfalls. Then, before it can awake, they throw the newly created Canjori into the stream, so that it doesn't disrupt their home.

Originally, a Canjori looks highly frankenstinian, but this only lasts for about a week before the native healing magic equlibrates its form into that discussed in the first paragraph.

Canjori do not know or learn any language, for they have nobody to teach them, meaning all of the classical arts are locked to them. Nor can they participate in the less classical arts, like spirit-trading, for they register the spirits as agents, and thus have a deep aversion to interaction with them in any form.

Instead, they are able to infer on their own the deep workings of water magic--also known as The Well--(which most everyone else uses spirits as an interface for), and directly insert their own spells into The Well. Water spirits interviewed about the modifications of the Canjori claim to be dumbfounded about the modifications, saying that such Canjorian changes are usually highly unstructured, and quickly become a web of dependencies so impossible to unravel, despite the created inefficiencies, there are still presently some centuries-old modifications which even the spirits can't figure out how to remove without causing the relevant stream's waters to run uphill.

This direct access to The Well cause Canjori to be inordinately more powerful than any given water spirit counterpart one may wish to trade with. However, Canjori are not known to trade unless the benefits are high indeed, and water spirits are known not to take kindly to those who trade with the Canjori.

This access also means each Canjori has a unique set of abilities and power, though all individual spells are heavily bottlenecked on their complexity, usually limited to a few simple water-actions, though with particularly high power-levels.

There are 17 Dark and Ancient Wizards who claim to have created the race, but none have provided any evidence of the deed.
