A person or group of persons who has neither studied nor practices magic is said to be a gruntling or gruntlings. She may less commonly be called a 'grunterer' or a 'gruntish fellow.' The term can be translated into virtually all languages of the Pallathantic and has a currency of millennia. The descriptive term is gruntish. It is slightly disparaging, but neutral terms like 'unwizard' and 'witchless' have not gained wide acceptance among the spellcasting class of society among their own kind. Most wizards are careful to use the terms with delicacy and tact around gruntlings, prefering to use euphemisms or circumlocutions like unwizards, persons differently trained from magic, outside experts, and so on.
A gruntling barmaid unconsciously uses magic to ease her work by causing herself to levitate ever so slightly without noticeably rising above the ground. She also uses her unknown power to lighten the load of objects she carries. She is gradually suspecting that something beyond the usual is at work. Such a person is truly a Zavian while all the time seeming to self and others to be a non-wizard. Midjourney Rendition.
