prettygoodwordomnific (om-NIF-ihk) - adj., all-creating; having unlimited powers of creation.
Slightly less common than its synonym omnificent, but much better sounding and apparently predating. As you might guess from the form, coined on the model of omnipotent, from omni-, all + facere, to make -- by, apparently, Milton in Paradise Lost book VII: "Silence, ye troubl'd waves, and thou Deep, peace, / Said then th' Omnific Word".
