=Arkentools=
There are three known Arkentools: The Arkenhammer, Arkendish, and Arkenpliers. Four Arkentools are said to exist. Each Arkentools are reported by many [[Sides]] to have originated as a tool of the [[Titans]], divine Elvis like beings who originally created Erfworld presumably using Arkentools. Whether the Arkentools were left on purpose or by accident by the Titans is unknown, however, Toolists believe the Titans left them on purpose. Both the origins of the Arkentools and the Titan themselves are reported as if from legend. There are no known first hand accounts or documents of the legends.
==Attunement==
It appears that individuals may attune to a given Arkentool and unleash latent Titanic powers. In this sense, attunement means that upon physical contact between the Arkentool and the individual Titanic abilities are unleashed that would otherwise be latent. It is unknown if different individuals upon attunement to a given arkentool release different Titanic powers or if multiple individuals can even attune to the same Arkentool, though to date it appears only one individual is ever attuned to a given Arkentool at one time.

Attunement itself is noted as extremely rare and not easily predicted, but such predictions as an aspect of [[Fate]] axiomatic [[Predictamancy]] are possible as in the case of the [[Arkenpliers]] and [[Wanda Firebaugh]]. It appears that either the Titanic powers unleashed by attunement may be an amalgam of the attuned person's personality/powers and the Arkentool or that only a person predisposed to a required personality and powers would be able to attune to a given Arkentool. (See Toolist below for third Theory). Arkentools can be used by those un-attuned to them for superior but relatively mundane purposes without Titanic powers. The mundane powers appear to also be related to the Titanic powers as such was the case of [[Prince Ansom]] and the [[Arkenpliers]] as he could destroy [[Uncroaked]] units with them, but [[Wanda Firebaugh]], a [[Naughtymancer]] was able to unleash Titanic [[Uncroaked]] powers with the [[Arkenpliers]] upon attunement.

==Toolists and Fate Perspective on Arkentools==
Some individuals, notably [[Stanley the Tool|Stanley the Plaid]], ascribe to a belief in Toolism. That the Arkentools represent the will of the [[Titans]] themselves. As such, the claim attunement to an Arkentool surpasses [[Royalty]] in declaring a legitimate right to rule. Others, notably [[Wanda Firebaugh]], see the Arkentools as players aligned to timeless [[Fate]] itself with attunement and the Arkentools as simply players in [[Fate]].

==The Arkenhammer==
.. [[File:Arkenhammer.png|right]]

The Arkenhammer is currently attuned to and held by [[Stanley the Tool|Stanley the Plaid]], Overlord of the side Gobwin Knob. Stanley is attuned to the Arkenhammer and thus can cause it to express certain Titanic abilities that would otherwise be latent. The Arkenhammer can be used to
*"Rock Out". Rock music being the highest form of music on Erfworld, per Stanley, the Arkenhammer in his hands can be used as a faux guitar and cause a full heavy metal rock music sound to be created at tremendously loud volumes. Rocking Out may convey combat advantages and perhaps be used in Dance Fighting as well.

==The Arkendish==
.. [[File:Arkendish_1.png|right]]

The Arkendish is currently attuned to and held by [[Charlie]], Overlord of [[Charlescomm]]. Unlike the other Arkentools, the Arkendish does not appear portable and appears to be installed in the Capital City of [[Charlescomm]]. All the specific Titanic powers granted to the amalgam attunement of [[Charlie]] and the Arkendish are unknown, however, it is known they they allow [[Charlie]] Titanic [[Thinkamancy]] powers or powers to work with [[Grandiocosmic Strings]] that mimic [[Thinkamancy]]. These powers are so great they even threaten the [[Thinkamancy]] organization of [[Great Minds That Think Alike]]. Part of the reason that the actual powers of [[Charlie]] and the Arkendish are not known is that some of [[Charlescomm]] abilities may stem from the large numbers of Archons at their command. For example, the ability to eventually link to any being who attempts to do so long enough with [[Charlescomm]] may stem from the large numbers of Archons manning [[Charlescomm]] communications, though it is often inferred to be a benefit stemming from the Arkendish [[Charlie]] has never confirmed any of this.

==Hey All==

I guess I'm top speculator on Parson being a Signamancer. I've also contributed as much as I can to all the Hippiemancer discipline speculation, Flower Power, Signamancy, and Date-a-Mancy. Mostly because I just think they are so bleep'n cool, but also from the input I've received, I seem to be finding un-before-mined-threads of logic that appears to flesh them out based on what we've seen so far.

==Parson the Signamancer Essay==
Hey there. First off, welcome to the Wiki. :) I noticed you've done a lot of editing to the Signamancer and Parson Gotti articles, to explain the argument for Parson being a Signamancer. Most of that is really good stuff, but I wanted to let you know that I edited the "there appears to be far more evidence that this is true" part, and explain a bit why I did it. Yes, it's a pretty good argument, but phrasing it that way implies that there's consensus about Parson being a Signamancer among those who speculate, which (as of yet) is not the case - it's still a topic widely debated on the forum. I kept the link - that there's evidence outside of Janis's word and wispy thematic elements - but rephrased it to be mentioned as the most significant of several instead of being explicitly called "far more" than other arguments.

Also, incidentally, I'm wondering whether it might be good to have the Signamancy page link to the speculation on Parson rather than duplicating it, to save maintenance effort (it's hard to keep two copies of the same argument identical as edits trickle in over time). Speculations on what Signamancy is and what it means in the context of this theory are definitely a good idea - and should stay on the page - but talk about Parson in particular is probably best left in his own article.

I didn't make any edits on this second idea, though, and both of these are just my own opinion; I'll step back if you want to change things back to how they were, or keep them as they are. And in any case, I hope this hasn't been overintimidating for you - I just wanted to put my two cents in the pot. :) —[[User:Menlo Marseilles|Menlo Marseilles]] 12:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

--All good suggestions. Didn't mean to imply anything besides there "appears to be far more evidence that it is true" and appreciate you removing the perceived consensus. I went ahead and added the link to the Signmancy page. Ooo, but now I reread and see you were thinking the opposite. I left it on Parson page because its really speculation about Parson and his behavior rather than speculation on Signamancy. For example, if Parson didn't exist, none of this write would have any evidence. If Signmancy didn't exist, parson would still be exhibiting all these same aspects. Hope that makes sense.

:: Makes perfect sense. I added some of the stuff back into Signamancy that we know regardless of the Parson-related speculation, but other than that things look good. [[User:Menlo Marseilles|Menlo Marseilles]] 20:44, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
