The [[Titan]]s' [[Carnymancy]] tampered with the bracer, giving a chance of [[zero]], so as to dissuade Parson from taking the option. But Charlie's Carnymancy fought against it, allowing the true odds to flash briefly. The bracer revealed that Parson is indeed a caster and had a 98% chance of successfully casting the scroll.

The comparison is loose, at best, and there has been no in comic comparison by Parson yet. It is possible that there is a combination of the Rules of Acquisition and the natural tendancy of Carnymancy to 'rig the game' to rig the 'game' of war in Erfworld to sow additional conflict which Charlie can be hired to solve. The following rules are known:
	* Charlie's Rule #3: We are in the business of solving problems for our clients. Corollary: Creating problems for our clients creates business.		* Charlie's Rule #3: We are in the business of solving problems for our clients. Corollary: Creating problems for our clients creates business.
