Pretty much. And I did want her to have some sort of fault so as to not make her a Mary Sue. :P And it depends on what sort of mistakes I guess. One that could very well end the world? She'd undo that since that would result in too great of a loss.

And since she did create mana and souls... they aren't exactly fake. They do exist and are capable of being used as external resources. It is just that mages doesn't need them. I think I am just repeating myself now. >.<

Her name also refers to the truth about mages limitations. Maya means illusion. Something like that.
