		+
		+	===Associated Discipline Debate===
		+	:''This section describes an aspect of Erfworld that is under debate. Please be considerate when posting here, and check the edit history to ensure you are not trampling on someone else's opinions.''
		+
		+	:The newest information provided by the comic indicates that [[Wanda Firebaugh]] believes the Arkenhammer contains a number of varied [[Magic]] disciplines. This idea had been posited previously but gained little following due to the belief that the various [[Arkentools]] operated on the same principles. Below are the many theories posited by the Wiki members.
		+
		+	It currently appears that the [[Arkendish]] provides "unmatched" [[Thinkamancy]] and the [[Arkenpliers]] provide unequalled [[Croakamancy]]; thus, many readers feel that there is an associated [[magic]] Discipline for the Arkenhammer.
		+
		+	[[Stanley]], a [[Warlord]] who cannot cast spells, uses an electrical effect to take down a [[Chief Warlord]] ([[Caesar Borgata]]) and his entire stack, emerging entirely unscathed from the engagement. This effect appears to be powerful enough to compare to the associated Disciplines of the other two Arkentools. The question, then, is which Discipline does this effect belong to?
		+
		+	Since Thinkamancy and Croakamancy are [[Fate\|Fate Axis Disciplines]]-aligned, some readers feel that all associated Disciplines should be Fate aligned. Fate magic being the determining factor in attunement reinforces this belief.
		+
		+	====The case for Shockmancy====
		+	[[Sizemore Rockwell\|Sizemore]] unleashes a [[Shockmancy]] scroll{{Erf\|1\|126}} which strike down enemies with yellow bolts. This fits one definition of shock, "a sudden and violent blow or impact".
		+
		+	The first case for [[Shockmancy]] compares the electrical effect's results{{Erf\|1\|113}} to that of the known [[Shockmancy]] result{{Erf\|1\|126}}. The two results are similar, suggesting they come from the same Discipline.
		+
		+	The second case relies on an undefined part of [[Shockmancy]], that an electrically shocking effect is [[Shockmancy]].
		+
		+	The third case is the fact that the 'hammer can be used to render unconscious and thus "pacify" dwagons, which might fit "shockmancy" if it's defined in relation to the idea of "mental" shocks, electro-shock treatment, or neurological effects (synaptic relays).
		+
		+	The case against: [[Shockmancy]] is [[Erf]]-aligned, not Fate-aligned. Some readers feel that the visual, magic word, & thematic elements of the Scroll spell and the Van Der Graff hammer effect are different enough that they are different Disciplines. The other powers of the 'hammer would indicate the 'hammer is not exclusive to [[Shockmancy]], even if it is dominated by it. (This would contrast with the seeming uniformity of the other tools' powers - unless the [[Arkendish]] covers [[Foolamancy]] as well as [[Thinkamancy]].)
		+
		+	====The case for Carnymancy====
		+	[[Carnymancy]] has not yet been defined, but is aligned with fate and is probably defined by either the term "Carny" or "Carnival".
		+
		+	The first case suggests that since electrical shows have been included in carnivals, an electrical effect is [[Carnymancy]].
		+
		+	The second case looks at the Arkenhammer itself. The 'hammer has the appearance of a squeaky toy hammer, which can be a prize given by Carny's at a carnival. Hammers are also featured prominently in the form of the carnival game that tests one strength by striking a mallet to make a bell ring.
		+
		+	If [[Carnymancy]] also covers circuses, taming [[dwagons]] could be a [[Carnymancy]] effect (among other possible disciplines of natural magic e.g. [[Thinkamancy]] or [[Foolamancy]]) - like taming lions.
		+
		+	The 'flight' attributed to the hammer seems to be levitation - having only been used to raise straight up, both in actual use and in foolamancy cover - sideshow magicians would often create the illusion of levitation.
		+
		+	Changing pigeons to walnuts is reminiscent of making things appear, disappear, and trade places - classic small-scale magic. Pigeons were often used in such tricks, and walnuts are sometimes used in "shell games," another simple deception. It may be worth noting that "pigeon" is a term for a victim of a carny-style con like the "shell game."
		+
		+	It is worth noting that Stanley, the hammer's attuned user, thinks of the hammer's abilites in terms of being 'tricks,' and asks Wanda if her Tool can also do tricks. If there is one Discipline that would cover "tricks" (as in novelty abilities done for a show), it's Carnymancy.
		+
		+	When Stanley demonstrates the Hammer's ability to [[Rock]] Out, it creates a light show that [[Parson]] describes as making Stanley's office look like a "stage" at a concert.{{blog\|2009\|09\|summer-updates-035}}
		+
		+	The case against: choosing a Discipline based on the appearance of the hammer itself is inconsistent with the association by effect of the 'pliers, though arguably the 'dish's form could be related to the communication aspects of Thinkamancy. Further, some believe this creates too broad a definition for Carnymancy, encompassing powers belonging to numerous other magical disciplines. It should be noted, however, that Stagemancy ''does'' cover all three axes (Life, Motion and Matter) so having smaller, limited mixtures of other disciplines' abilities would make some sense.
		+
		+	====The case for Changemancy====
		+	[[Changemancy]] has not yet been defined, but is aligned with fate and is probably defined by an effect of changing one thing into another.
		+
		+	Since the Arkenhammer changes birds into walnuts and vice versa, it does have an effect that associates with [[Changemancy]].
		+
		+	The Arkenhammer may change [[dwagon]]s from untamable to tamed. It may also change Gobwin Knob to allow for the popping of new [[dwagon]]s.
		+
		+	The flight affect of the 'hammer may be from a change of the Type of the wielder to Flying.
		+
		+	The case against: the effect is not on par with the [[Arkendish\|'dish]] and [[Arkenpliers\|'pliers]]. The other powers would either have to all be attributed to [[Changemancy]], or the hammer would not be exclusive to one discipline.
		+
		+	==== Other Cases ====
		+	In the [[Magic Kingdom]], speculation exists that the Arkenpliers extend Croakamancy to the Life Axis. If the Arkendish also extends Thinkamancy to the Matter axis then the Arkenhammer might extend [[Signamancy]] to the Motion axis (thus, all three tools would extend a two-axis form of fate magic to all three axes -- though it is unclear what role [[carnymancy]], the standard three-axis fate magic, would play in this scheme). If Signamancy is about the meanings, symbols and conventions attached to an underlying reality then this is consistent with Stanley's campaign to radically change Erfworld, proclaim royalty obsolete, and have a world ruled by only one side. This might have implications for Parson as an alleged [[hippiemancer]].
		+
		+	A case can be made for the [[Arkenhammer]] to of the [[Weirdomancy]] magic branch. That [[Stanley]]'s attunment means the hammer is granting him levitation, taming, rocking out, and shockomancy abilities.
		+
		+	==Real World References==
		+	It was pointed out that a company named [http://www.stanleytools.com/ Stanley] manufactures hand tools.
		+
		+	Thor, the god of storms (could create thunder and lightning) from Norse mythology, owned a hammer named Mjolnir<sup>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mjolnir]</sup>.
		+
		+	Some editions of the (Advanced) Dungeons and Dragons game have included a magical hammer known as the [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Maul_of_the_Titans Maul of the Titans] ... its powers have been known to change between editions.

		+	:The newest information provided by the comic indicates that [[Wanda Firebaugh]] believes the Arkenhammer contains a number of varied [[Magic]] disciplines. This idea had been posited previously but gained little following due to the belief that the various [[Arkentools]] operated on the same principles.
