[SCRAP_GAZER]: okay, so...people who can "manipulate" scraps naturally are typically called "wizards", providing they actually practice.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: "scrapwranglers" was also an old term used, but it's a bit too unrefined for my tastes.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: if you want something simpler and less fancy though, just "scrap users" will do. 
[SCRAP_GAZER]: scrap users are able to pull from the three components of a scrap- memories and emotions, as mentioned earlier, as well as the energy behind these things.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: the stronger the feelings and the more distinct the memories are within a scrap, the more energy's put into it when it sheds.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: a scrap user is able to manipulate the scrap's components to do magic- and this really is only limited by the scraps at hand and what you can come up with using what's available. 
[SCRAP_GAZER]: the type also ties into things as well. let me think of an example...
[SCRAP_GAZER]: so, raw manipulation, no equipment involved- let's take a meat scrap that formed as a result of a close friendship, like mentioned earlier.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: for the sake of a first example, we'll say that this particular scrap shed off after an event involving a very personal, intimate conversation. perhaps a secret shared that's never been told to anyone else before.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: the scrap would likely contain feelings of loyalty and trust- feelings of a need for protection towards the secret, and reassurance that it'd get that care.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: a scrap user who knew what they were doing would likely be able to manipulate that scrap into a solid, visible meat shield.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: its components involved love and care, so the user can use those feelings and memories to create something that will protect them from harm.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: but, there may also be traces of fear in that scrap- worries that the secret will not be kept, and nerves about it.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: so perhaps the shield also has bone spikes on it, to symbolize that double sided aspect to it.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: in a sense, the spikes don't invalidate the feelings of love, either- they are just as protective as the rest of it.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: meat scraps in general are extremely useful for combat, as their shapes are often quite literally malleable in the hands of a scrap user, and make for easily conjured, solid, magical objects.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: but, they are also seen in healing circles as well- they do have to do with the body, after all.
