==Retconjuration==
Per Rob on August 19th, 2009:

I am going to make a more drastic change. A change to the magic table. If you now look at Klog 2, you will see that the branch of magic I called "Deletionism" is no longer there. It has been deleted.

In its place is a new branch of magic: "Retconjuration." (The name was also Rich's idea.) This is a theoretical branch of magic, like an undiscovered element on the periodical table. No ordinary caster can practice it; there are no Retconjurers in Erfworld. It is reserved for the Titans. And I can tell you, they don't like it much and use it as seldom as possible. I apologize for invoking it now, especially to the wiki editors.

So, any differences you notice between the printed book and the old archives you can chalk up to Retconjuration, the ultimate form of Naughtymancy.{{WoT|8/19/2009}}

*May be a reference to "Chainfire," from the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. "Chainfire" is a mental magic that changes people's memories to accommodate for the fact that Main Female Character Who Is a Major Political Figure's actions never happened, as that person never existed, even to themselves. Of course, this has the unfortunate effect of wiping out various sections of memory for varying people, bringing about The End of the World, unless Main Male Character does something. Also, balefire from the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.--[[User:BarGamer|BarGamer]] 18:37, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
:*'''Retcon''' stands for '''Ret'''roactive '''Con'''tinuity. It's used to fix continuity screwups that have already been published or aired (Soap Operas are notorious for this and have been for decades). Of late, it's been used in various games to fix old lore to match wanted game mechanics. Anytime something doesn't line up with original backstory and the author writes something to dismiss why the old stuff might have been a fact. One example I can think of is the 2nd Jurassic Park book where the paleontologist in it refers to something a paleontologist in the first book said as fact and dismissed it as bad science. It's also an amnesia pill in the BBC series Torchwood which is named after the whole Retroactive Continuity thing as a joke. --[[Special:Contributions/68.52.174.171|68.52.174.171]] 21:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

==Element and Axis==
Deletionism is Naughtymancy, the magic of Motion and Matter, and the abscence of Life. It is aligned to the axis of Numbers. How Deletionism manifests is as yet unclear, but it could be the Deletion of Life, or of Numbers, or the use of moving matter to "delete" life. [[User:Commander I. Heartly Noah|Commander I.

Magic Item

2009-04-28T17:00:24Z

68.52.174.171: Changed tagging on a few items. Previous change was adding 3-D Glasses

=Proposed Canon=

Magic Item is an item that is both magical and made by a mortal. An item with magical powers created by the [[Titans]] is called an [[Artifact]].[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0035.html]

=Speculation=

==Known Magic Items==

===Eyebooks===

[[Stanley the Tool]] and his main subordinates ([[Wanda Firebaugh]], [[Sizemore Rockwell]], and [[Parson Gotti]]) carry eyebooks. They resemble ordinary hardback books, of variable size (see below). They were created by Stanley's trio of linked casters, using the three disciplines of Eyemancy (Lookamancy, Thinkamancy, and Foolamancy). Once created, they function under their own power, and continued to do so after the trio was unlinked.

An eyebook is able to transcribe messages from the user's thoughts and send them to another user's Eyebook. Parson also uses his to keep a journal (called a "Klog", derived from "boo''k log''", in the same way that a real-world term "blog" is derived from "we''b log''"). Eyebooks also have the ability to change size, conveniently shrinking to be easily carried and growing to a size suitable for Parson.

The name is a pun on the iBook type of laptop computer.

===Flying Carpet===

[[Prince Ansom]] has a flying carpet. It resembles a conventional carpet, either rolled up (which is Ansom's usual style of riding) or spread out. The type of magic it uses has not been specified.

The carpet is able to carry at least two riders.

===Message Hats===

Ansom has a pair of message hats. They resemble fancy-dress top hats. Presumably, they use Hat Magic, but this has not been specified.

A written message may be placed into the sending hat and transmitted to the receiving hat (which rumbles to alert the owner). These particular hats only work in one direction; however, other hats capable of two-way communication may exist. (Upon being given the sending hat of the pair, [[Jillian Zamussels]] asked if it was "dual use" and was told that it was "abjuration only". This appears to imply that the former term describes a two-way hat and the latter describes a one-way sending hat.)

===Parson's Paper 3-D Goggles===

This is a [[Stupid Meal]] item that gives [[Parson]] one of the abilities normally associated with his rank as [[warlord]]. It gives its wearer the ability to view the stats of a [[unit]] such as move, hit, attack, and defense as well as any special abilities. This is an innate ability that all warlord and [[caster]] units in Erfworld possesses, but is lacking in Parson as he's from a different universe [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0044.html].

===Parson's Bracer===

A [[Mathamancy Bracer|plastic bracer]] that arrived in Parson's Stupid Meal. With a neat little groove for his calculator watch to fit into. Apparently a powerful [[Mathamancy]] based item (or possibly an [[Artifacts|Artifact]][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0060.html]) of great interest to [[Mathamancy]] dependant factions like [[CharlesComm]][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0115.html][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0117.html].

===The Sword of Lord Hamster===

Another item that arrived in [[Parson Gotti]]'s Stupid Meals - this time in pieces over three meals. According to the box it came in (a Luckamancy Charms cereal box to be precise) it is the final element of the upgrades necessary to turn Parson into the Perfect Warlord that the summoning spell intended him to be.
The other elements being his 3D Glasses and [[Parson's Bracer]]. Stated abilities include bonuses to Leadership, Combat and Ruthlessness.

CharlesComm

2009-04-28T16:36:07Z

68.52.174.171: Added Speculation tag and a wording change

'' 'Your battlespace solutions provider' ''
=Speculation=
An Erfworld [[side]] lead by the mysterious [[Charlie]].
Apparently content to act as a [[mercenary]] organisation - albiet with a strong air of management consultancy - Charlie sells his services to the highest bidder, but is always open to a better offer.

Services known to be offered by CharlesComm include contract [[Thinkamancy]] and the assistance of his [[Archon]]s. The Archons can provide significant combat casting abilities, thinkamancy and a range of other services dependant on the service package that they have been hired under and are even capable of directing troops in a dance fight. The client should bear the terms of his contract carefully in mind - Charlie is known to keep to the letter of his contract, but should not be relied upon to do more. There are no freebies at CharlesComm.

At least part of CharlesComm's power derives from Charlie's possession of and, we presume, attunement to the [[Arkendish]] - how powerful this faction would be without such a significant [[artifact]] in their possession is unknown. And unlikely to ever be known.

Mathamancy Bracer

2009-04-28T16:31:52Z

68.52.174.171: /* Proposed Canon */ small wording fix

=Proposed Canon=
Mathamancy Bracer is a [[Magic Item]], possibly an [[Artifact]][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0060.html], that [[Parson]] received in his second [[Stupid Meal]][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0059.html].

It looks like a sleeve of hard plastic, but has a spot where Parson's calculator watch can snap into.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0060.html]

The bracer instantly and effortlessly does raw calculations necessary to analyze probabilities and predict outcomes of battles - that is, [[Mathamancy]].[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0060.html]

=Speculation=
The effects of the bracer virtually turn its user into a [[Mathamancer]].

Apparently it is an item of great interest to [[Mathamancy]] dependant factions[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0060.html] like [[Charlescomm]][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0115.html][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0117.html].

Faq

2009-04-23T03:46:17Z

68.52.174.171: /* Fall of Faq */ typo

Kingdom of Faq was a [[faction]] and a [[Capital Side]] in [[Erfworld]]. Faq was a home [[faction]] for [[Jillian Zamussels]].

Faq consisted of a capital (apparently of the same name) and two subordinate cities. It was surrounded with mountains on all sides and accessible only by air and tunnel.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0091.html]

[[King Banhammer]] was the last ruler of Faq prior to its fall. [[Jillian Zamussels]] was his daughter and a [[heir]] to the throne.

==Mercenary Work==

Although the kingdom had mines and farms it also sent its units to do [[mercenary]] work with [[gwiffon]] squads to boost the treasury.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0091.html] Apparently [[Jillian]] assumed command over them after she popped up and was able to reach a relatively high level as a result of her combat experience.

==Reliance on Magic==

[[King Banhammer]] relied heavily on the use of [[magic]] and had multiple [[Caster|Casters]], including:
* a [[Predictamancy|Predictamancer]][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0091.html]
* a [[Foolamancy|Foolamancer]] ([[Jack Snipe]])[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0119.html]
* a [[Croakamancy|Croakamancer]] ([[Wanda Firebaugh]])[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0092.html]

[[Predictamancy|Predictamancer]] foretold the eventual fall of the kingdom (which led King Banhammer to order an [[heir]] popped that happened to be [[Jillian]]).

When enemy units appeared nearby [[Foolamancy|Foolamancer]] was able veil one city at a time (as determined by [[Predictamancy|Predictamancer]][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0119.html] and thus managed to keep the location of Faq hidden for a long time. That, however, has not saved Faq from destruction.

==Fall of Faq==

Readers are led to believe that Faq has fallen in a quick attack from [[Stanley the Plaid]]. [[Jillian]] mentions that she received a message from Faq about a large overflight of [[dwagons]] when she was away on a mission and was a [[Barbarian]] on her next turn.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0092.html]

Whoever attacked and destroyed Faq has not rebuilt the capital and it currently remains in ruin. Potentially it can be rebuilt by Jillian to restore her side and become an [[Overlord]] and a Queen.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0092.html] Apparently it can also be claimed by other [[faction|factions]] to either start a new side[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0092.html] or apparently bring additional income.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0151.html]

==Location==

Faq seems to be located in relative vicinity to Kingdom of [[Transylvito]] as [[Transylvito]] units passed by Faq (although not seeing it) from time to time.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0151.html]

Stanley the Tool

2009-04-20T08:42:07Z

68.52.174.171: /* Achievements */

Stanley the Tool (originally "Stanley the Plaid") is the [[Overlord]] of the [[Gobwin Knob|Plaid tribe]]. Also referred to by his enemies as Stanley the Worm.

=Information=

===Stats===
'''Race:''' [[Men]] 
'''Tribe:''' Plaid (nearly lost tribe) 
'''Class:''' Overlord 

===Pop and early turns===
Before the story started, Stanley started out as a piker-class infantry under the command of [[King Saline IV]] of the Plaid. Eventually, Stanley was promoted to a Warlord by Saline, and he found the [[Arkenhammer]], tamed [[Dwagons]], and was eventually promoted to the [[Chief Warlord]] and [[Heir Designate]] of Saline.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0087.html]

At one point, Stanley took a number of the Plaid's casters, [[Sizemore Rockwell]] among them, on a special mission of undisclosed parameters; when Stanley's group returned to [[Gobwin Knob]], they found that it had fallen to an attack from the [[Gobwins]] breaking their alliance. With the dwagons, casters, and the bonus from the Arkenhammer, Stanley easily retook the city and became the Overlord of the Plaid.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0087.html]

===Recent turns===

Stanley decided to start a quest for the Arkentools. The exact intention and course of this campaign is unknown, although it is mentioned that he attacked [[Transylvito]] faction, [[Elves]] and destroyed the [[Milquetoast|Milquetoast Clan]].[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0034.html]
As a result of the campaign Stanley lost 10 of his 11 cities and all of his leadership corps.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0005.html] 
During the quest, an alliance formed with the aim to defeat Stanley, known as the [[Royal Crown Coalition]].

===Story: Chapter 1===

Due to the croaking of [[Manpower the Temporary]] Stanley needed to choose a new chief warlord. His adviser, [[Wanda Firebaugh]] convinced him to summon the perfect warlord[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0005.html], who turned out to be [[Parson Gotti]][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0017.html].

===Achievements===

Stanley's preferred style is [[dance fight]]. He has for this purpose a order of knights who also can dance fight, the [[Knights in Stanley's Service]].

Stanley the Tool

2009-04-20T08:37:26Z

68.52.174.171: /* Achievements */

Stanley the Tool (originally "Stanley the Plaid") is the [[Overlord]] of the [[Gobwin Knob|Plaid tribe]]. Also referred to by his enemies as Stanley the Worm.

=Information=

===Stats===
'''Race:''' [[Men]] 
'''Tribe:''' Plaid (nearly lost tribe) 
'''Class:''' Overlord 

===Pop and early turns===
Before the story started, Stanley started out as a piker-class infantry under the command of [[King Saline IV]] of the Plaid. Eventually, Stanley was promoted to a Warlord by Saline, and he found the [[Arkenhammer]], tamed [[Dwagons]], and was eventually promoted to the [[Chief Warlord]] and [[Heir Designate]] of Saline.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0087.html]

At one point, Stanley took a number of the Plaid's casters, [[Sizemore Rockwell]] among them, on a special mission of undisclosed parameters; when Stanley's group returned to [[Gobwin Knob]], they found that it had fallen to an attack from the [[Gobwins]] breaking their alliance. With the dwagons, casters, and the bonus from the Arkenhammer, Stanley easily retook the city and became the Overlord of the Plaid.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0087.html]

===Recent turns===

Stanley decided to start a quest for the Arkentools. The exact intention and course of this campaign is unknown, although it is mentioned that he attacked [[Transylvito]] faction, [[Elves]] and destroyed the [[Milquetoast|Milquetoast Clan]].[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0034.html]
As a result of the campaign Stanley lost 10 of his 11 cities and all of his leadership corps.[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0005.html] 
During the quest, an alliance formed with the aim to defeat Stanley, known as the [[Royal Crown Coalition]].

===Story: Chapter 1===

Due to the croaking of [[Manpower the Temporary]] Stanley needed to choose a new chief warlord. His adviser, [[Wanda Firebaugh]] convinced him to summon the perfect warlord[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0005.html], who turned out to be [[Parson Gotti]][http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0017.html].

Arkenpliers

2009-04-11T10:16:13Z

68.52.174.171:

One of the [[Arkentools]], possessed by [[Prince Ansom]] of [[Jetstone]] until his defeat at the [[Battle of Gobwin knob]], but never attuned to him.

Even unattuned the Arkenpliers were a powerful weapon, capable of permanently destroying any [[Uncroaked]] unit on contact.

===Speculation===
Current possession of the Arkenpliers is not established - they were last seen in the custody of a [[UnaRoyal]] Warlord from Ansom's coalition, but she is presumed dead by some and the artifact lost in the ruins of [[Gobwin Knob]]. It is also hinted that there is a new Warlord in charge of the UnaRoyal forces and one might surmise that it is this same person last seen with the Arkenpliers.
