Naturally, its creator was Tauro, but [Creation Magic] had nearly killed him, and he never intended to make another one.

Chapter 95: The D-Team’s Fate Tauro and his companions searched for Bob’s team while avoiding the monsters they encountered. “Don’t you think we’re running into an unusually large number of orcs?” Shin questioned Tauro after yet another report that he had found orcs by combining [Presence Detection] with [True Eye]. “Now that you mention it,
Chapter 94: Search Quest The morning after Tauro gave Aeris her staff, his newly promoted E-rank team, the Black-Gold Wings—also known simply as Black-Gold—visited the guild to accept their first E-rank quest.
