The Collegium of Inventors

Many races have inviduals that are specialized in creating novel concepts and invetions. But the most known inventors almost excluvisvely gnomish. This is no wonder, considering the innovative and active minds of these small people. Gnomes have even formed the Collegium of Inventors, a guild that guides young gnomes on refining their ideas into full blown machines and gadgets. Sometimes the laws of physics are in the way of their inventions, therefore little magic is required to make things work.
