Can Nystul's Magic Aura mask a creature created by a Protean Scribe?
I play a Protean Scribe (from Mythical Classes by LPJ Design) and it has word powers. You can write a story so eloquent that you can bring the very creatures and objects of your story into existence.
In either case, the storied creature or object is obviously magical, radiating dim light in a 5 ft radius. An object or creature remains until it is reduced to 0 hit points, you choose to erase the story, or until you take a short or long rest.
If I cast Nystul's magic aura, can I prevent the creature radiating dim light in a 5-foot radius? Does this spell mask this effect?

Hi, welcome to the site; if you haven’t, you might want to take the Tour. You get a neat little badge and everything. Anyway, since you noted that you were playing D&D 5e in your question, I have added the [dnd-5e] tag to your question. Please note that every rules question here is required to have a system tag like that, and if you hadn’t mentioned it, we would be forced to put this question on hold until you clarified. Please include that tag when asking future questions.

The magic aura spell's masking effect applies only to spells and magical effects, and at that only those that detect creatures types. It does not change the way the creature actually appears in general.
You change the way the target appears to spells and magical effects that detect creature types...
Regular vision is not a magical effect nor a spell.

You may want to reference a similar situation in the core game that could occur from something like the Minor Conjuration feature of the conjuration wizard: "you can use your action to conjure up an inanimate object... The object is visibly magical, radiating dim light out to 5 feet.
