Onur Cobanli explains:
Design is truly magical, like alchemy, it is creation of nothing from not nothing but not anything either, i.e. you have ideas, in your brain or processor, and you create forms, processes, systems out of your ideas. Creativity is your mana, i.e. how much you can create with your thinking, and to feed your creativity and increase your mana, you need to research, learn to learn and progress perpetually.
