Magic Crafters is the third home world accessed by Spyro in Spyro the Dragon. This is the land where the live. It can come across as an extravagantly royal place, with marble-like walls and floors in the caves. The walls are also covered in elaborate designs and the caves seem to be lit almost magically. Throughout the home world, there are small ponds where enemies are sometimes seen running around.
As its name suggests, Magic is very abundant in this land. There are druids in this world who have control over the movement of platforms, walls, and land, among many others. This is also the first land in which Spyro finds a supercharge ramp and learns about supercharge. At least 1,200 gems must be collected to access this world.
Dragon Family
The dragons who live in this world are known as the Magic Crafters, and are the most magical of the Dragon Families. They spend their time making magic artifacts used by all the Dragons throughout the rest of the worlds. They are shy around other creatures and like to be alone. They can be very happy in their remote mountaintops, ice cliffs, and caves, studying their craft in peace.[1][2]
In the original game, a notable feature among Magic Crafter dragons is that most of them spoke in an accent that trills the R's in the words they speak with. Visually setting them aside from the other dragon families, Magic Crafters have four horns on their heads, and their eyes are fully one color with no visible whites or pupils. The leader of the Magic Crafter dragons is Cosmos, as he is the first dragon to be freed when Spyro enters the home world and welcomes his arrival, as well as giving him the main objectives.
As of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Magic Crafters are mainly wizards, magicians, potion makers, and seers. They are often depicted indulging in various forms of traditionally arcane arts such as sorcery, wizardry, alchemy, astrology, and runology.

Portals
Each home world has specially designed portals. The portals in Magic Crafters are made from the mountain's stone and are short and wide. The top portion comes to a point at the top, with a jewel located right below it. In the original version of the game the jewel was purple. In the Reignited Trilogy the jewels are orange except for Crystal Flight which is still purple.

Other game appearances
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
For a special race held by CTR, a news channel in Crash Bandicoot's realm, Magic Crafters was briefly rebuilt beautifully with a race track across the landscape decorated with stone dragon-statues and special portals with a direct link to Artisans. An area with floating platforms above a swirling vortex beneath was also used. Green Wizards, Tornado Wizards and Elder Wizards were stationed as obstacles on each side of the track, casting spells across it.

Trivia
General
- If you talk to the balloonist repeatedly, he will say, "Hey Spyro, maybe I can help you recover those 5 dragon eggs." If he requests a realm where a thief is located, you can instantly go to that realm via balloon.
- There are no Gnorcs in this home world and its levels (except for Ice Gnorcs).
- The locked chest in this world can be opened using a Supercharge instead of the key. Head down the supercharge ramp, make a sharp right U-turn, and hop off the edge of the platform to land in the cave with the chest. If you do this, the key in the gazebo near the end will disappear.
Original Game
- The menu screen is set in this home world.
- Although, unlike following games, the area is unreachable during gameplay.
- In early builds of the game, much of the realm was textured and lit differently. The Armored Druids would also make different noises when hit.
Reignited Trilogy
- The placeholder box art for the game is set in this home world.
- A lake replaces the misty abyss surrounding the Magic Crafters home world.
