It's more like there are a few people who had complete control over one type of nature's power (fire, thunder, water, ice etc) plus a group of normals who could only fight with sticks and spears. To win the war against Grim, together they've managed to come up with a way to create a physical form containing these power - most likely with the help of these superhumans - that would allow any normal people to wield powers just like the superhuman does, except with a supply limit of course. This was how they won the war against Grim.

To take another example would be Brandon Sanderson's work, but I won't state which trilogy since it would basically be a HUGE spoiler for whoever that hasn't read it yet. Every one of his work is awesome so just go buy and read them.

During the war against Grim obviously these few superhumans would be viewed as legends and heroes, but at a time of peace they can only be seen as a threat. Over time their contribution are even forgotten, to the point that they even become oppressed.

Also, note that it is possible that when a baby born between a fauna and a normal human should usually result with a normal human's appearance (but with the affinity or inherent power). The human blood are stronger, otherwise the superhumans would still stomp over the normal people since both sides can wield Dust.

As for your offer, I'll think about it. I don't actually know what the project is even though I've caught glances of it lol. I'll give an answer as soon as I can.
