==Proposed Canon==
[[Moneymancy]] is a [[magic]] that has uses resources outside of the art of an individual moneymancer. [[Side]]s use moneymancy to convert [[shmucker]]s into [[unit]]s and construction. It may also be involved in the automatic transfer of funds when sides make deals with one another. As we have not seen evidence that treasuries are tangible, existing things, moneymancy may simply be involved in the moving of funds to and from the abstract pocket in which the treasury exists. There is some evidence that [[bank]]s are associated with treasuries, as they must be visited from time to time, even though they don't actually hold any treasure. {{ref| [[First_Intermission_44]] }}

==Information==
Moneymancy is one of the three disciplines of the [[Magic]] class [[Clevermancy]]; it is aligned with the axis of [[Numbers]] and is composed of none of the three [[Magic_Elements|element]]s of [[Life]], [[Motion]] and [[Matter]].{{erf|1|038a|Parson's Klog #2}}

===Abilities===
* [[Natural Allies]] can use moneymancy to convert [[shmucker]]s directly to units{{WoT|6051503}}. This is likely important because units probably have no cost to create otherwise. Instead of Shmuckers, they take time. Moneymancy seems to circumvent the time needed via a direct infusion of Shmuckers.
* Moneymancers are able to convert shmuckers into [[gem]]s. This is significant as gems are able to be converted directly into shmuckers by a [[caster]], [[warlord]], or [[ruler]], but not the other way around. This would allow a [[side]] to squirrel away funds so that they were available if needed, but not in the [[treasury]] in case of capture.
* Construction of buildings, up to and including cities like [[Gobwin Knob]], can be accomplished through moneymancy.

===Known Moneymancers===
* [[Benjamin]], [[Don King]]'s friend and adviser.
* [[Moothfott]], of [[FAQ]] (during [[King Banhammer]]'s reign)

==Speculation==
* Moneymancy may be able to [[Predictamancy|predict]] the monetary ([[shmucker]]) cost of an action. [[Benjamin]] has been quoted as saying that it would be too expensive to exterminatie a [[Transylvitian]] enemy.
* Since Moneymancy is a magic ability and magic requires [[juice]] to be performed, it would be expected that a Moneymancer should be able to convert juice directly into shmuckers. Since neither juice nor shmuckers are makde of life, motion or matter, this seems directly in alignment with the composition of Moneymancy.
* Since left-over money after a transaction is called "change", it shouldn't be surprising to find a link between Moneymancy and [[Changemancy]].

Frosted: I created a page. Don't yell at me.

Moothfott is a Moneymancer in service to [[Faq]] before its fall.

When Jack conjures an illusion of a grand reception for the return of Princess [[Jillian]], Moothfott is shown as being directly to the right of King [[Banhammer]], a position of prominence.

Jillian describes him as "dour". (Which may be true of all Moneymancers, given the nature of their craft)
