[edit] Proposed Canon
Mathamancy is one of the three disciplines of the Magic class Hocus Pocus and composed solely of the element of Life; it is aligned with the axis of Numbers.Erf-b1-p038a
Zero is a Mathamancy concept.
[edit] Abilities
- Calculation of battle probabilities.Erf-b1-p054
- Making sophisticated predictions of the future (though it may be that Parson's bracer extends into Predictamancy to do this). summer-updates-039
[edit] Known Mathamancers
Adderall Hawk, of Faq, before its fall.
[edit] Mathamancy Artifacts
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.
[edit] Speculation
One strategy is having Mathamancers paired with Luckamancers to predict the crucial battles and then tilt them to produce a favorable outcome.Erf-b1-p054
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.
