I'm not sure this is the right section for this but I have a question? Is the discovery of something the same as creating something from nothing and can we claim originality for a discovery?

Originality is not the same thing as novelty.
Very few things are known to have come from nothing - and of those most are hypothetical, almost including antimater.
It is quite the occasion when one discovers or builds a thing which is both useful and novel in the field.
There have been some very clever and diligent folks in magic throughout it's history and they've left us quite a trove of items - some of which seem to get rediscovered every so often.

Discovery is to find an ore, and Originarity is to shine the ore.

Great to hear that you cared enough to notice when you saw something new.
Many things have been discovered by accident, rather than thought out or actively searched for, and including some of the greatest things ever, like antibiotics and the transistor. How you arrived at it does not matter, it is original if it is sufficiently different from what others have been doing.
Good luck
