How could ordinary people increase their creative power according to Pacific beliefs about mana?

In the context of Oceanic literature, creativity is often perceived through the lens of mana, a supernatural force or power believed to be concentrated in persons and objects. While mana is associated with divine origins, it is not considered the exclusive domain of supernatural beings or high-ranking chiefs.1

According to Pacific beliefs, ordinary people can increase their creative power by performing appropriate rituals or by dedicating themselves to the study and acquisition of specific skills. While outstanding creative individuals are thought to possess mana in greater abundance, every person is believed to hold the potential for some form of creativity. This perspective emphasizes that creative energy is accessible to individuals who engage in the necessary practices to cultivate their talents and connect with these sources of power.1
