Kid. Listen to me. (by HappyRoadKill)

Kind of but not really. The plural community co-opted it a while ago to mostly mean 'a being created through will' though some of them in the plural community do use spiritual practices to create them it isn't always a given. See here or here.

Some say it isn't co-opted, but the fact that there's a lot of confusion about it means, to us at least, that it's not a good term and it should probably be replaced by better ones like Parogenic (see here or here) or Willogenic (see here or here).

There's a lot of back and forth on this and it'll likely never be fully resolved, but yeah. Now you know.
