The Plastic Gauntlet that Parson received in his second Stupid Meal is a powerful Mathamancy Artifact that runs off the power of his calculator watch.Erf-b1-p054
Sizemore estimates the worth of these two items at more than half a million shmuckers to a Mathamancy-dependent kingdom.

No character except Parson has demonstrated any non-trivial math or accounting. It could be that at least some of the powers of mathamancy are not extraordinary in our world.
