However, they almost never do so since they are too rare and valuable to risk. Moreover, casters do not normally have the [[Leadership]] ability and do not grant a [[Leadership]] [[Combat#Combat_Bonuses\|bonus]] to units under their direct command. However, some casters ''can'' grant a special bonus to particular units, presumably limited to those directly tied to their magical specialty. For example, Dirtamancers provide bonuses to [[golems]] under their command, and Croakamancers provide bonuses to [[uncroaked]] units. And at least one subject of the [[Summon Perfect Warlord Spell]], Parson Gotti, is a dual class Warlord/Caster, able to perform the functions of both.

	In some situations, casters can also grant abilities to units under their command. For example, a Croakamancer can grant the [[Dance-Fighting]] special ability to [[Uncroaked]] units under its command <sup>[[TBFGK 127]]</sup>. The Caster would likely need to possess the dance-fighting ability on their own to be able to bestow it to other units.

-	~~Judy was summoned by~~ [[Charlie]] ~~for many of~~ the ~~same reasons that Parson Gotti~~ was. Her summoning was directly responsible for the croaking of [[Bell]], ruler of [[Easteros]].

		+	A [[side]] named [[el-Efbaum]] had been long trapped in a deadlock with two tightly allied sides named [[Easteros]] and [[Westeregg]]. Upon forming an alliance with [[Haffaton]], [[Charlie]] invented the [[Summon Perfect Warlord Spell]], using [[Haffaton]]'s [[Thinkamancer]] and [[Predictamancer]] as well as [[el-Efbaum]]'s [[Findamancer]] and [[Lookamancer]]. The [[warlord]] they summoned was Judy Gale. Her summoning was directly responsible for the croaking of [[Bell]], ruler of [[Easteros]]. After attuning to the [[Arkenshoes]], which she had taken from Bell's body, she infiltrated [[Westeregg]], destroyed [[Blair]], seized the [[Arkendish]] and took it to [[Charlie]] as per Haffaton's agreement with el-Efbaum.
		+
		+	[[Maxwell]], Haffaton's Thinkamancer, was able to imbue several golem units with [[life]], and they became fast friends with Judy.
		+
		+	Eventually, [[Olive Branch]], one of Charlie's own children, betrayed el-Efbaum to Haffaton. However, Judy chose to let Charlie go, much to Olive's displeasure.
		+
		+	At some point, [[ruler]]ship of Haffaton passed on from [[Lex Doothis]] to Judy. Olive Branch betrayed her ruler, kept Judy in a drugged stupor with the [[heroine buds]] at the [[Olive Garden]], and used her as a puppet ruler. Olive also caused the death of most of Haffaton's casters, including Maxwell, which caused Judy's golem friends to revert to non-sapience.
		+
		+	[[Maya Calendar]] had [[predicted]] that a warlord named [[Jillian]] was [[Fate]]d to [[croak]] the ruler of Haffaton. In an attempt to ensure that Judy Gale would be the one croaked, Olive took away the [[Arkenshoes]] to prevent Judy from simply escaping to her old world. But, [[Wanda Firebaugh]] was able to use [[Findamancy]] to recover them, allowing Judy to return home. As a result of Judy's departure, her [[Heir Designate]], Olive Branch became the new ruler of Haffaton.

It is also possible that the unit affected by the deal may then owe a debt to Fate (or whomever), which may have to be paid back in some fashion. It would however seem that Carnymancy spells, rather than modifying unit specials or other stats, might affect the actual rules upon which Erfworld operates.	+	*Can be used to manipulate [[Fate]] so as to railroad [[Erfworld]] into going down a specific path like a cheating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamemaster game master]. The [[Titan]]s are the most prominent users of this ability, but Carnymancers frequently try to impose their own will on Fate as well. This allows Carnymancers to cheat [[Fate]], in a struggle to railroad ''against'' the Titans themselves. For example, when Parson tried to determine the odds of casting a Carnymancy [[scroll]], [[Fate]] made his [[Mathamancy Bracer]] say zero to dissuade him from trying, but Charlie's Carnymancy allowed it to show the true odds for a flash.

	What is clear is that the effects of Carnymancy must somehow be distinct from the effects of Luckamancy, as they each occupy a separate magical axis, and Luckamancy so far seems less permanent than Carnymancy (one 'borrows' to produce its effects, the other makes a 'deal'; one operates within the 'rules', the other changes them). However, they both may involve some form of cosmic 'debt' that will be paid back in some fashion. Luckamancy pays back good luck (numbers) with an opposing force of bad luck for the unit's side or good luck for the enemy. Carnymancy pays back good Karma (fate) by rigging the rules in one unit's favor while rigging the rules to another unit's detriment (possibly trading one units fate for that of another).
