	The pliers allow the attuned Croakamancer to [[decrypt]] corpses as new units on her side.

[[Wanda]] is capable of [[Fate]] magic in disciplines outside of [[Croakamancy]], so those spells might also be enhanced by the [[Arkenpliers]].	+	It is unclear what other powers, if any, Wanda has gained from her attunement.

		+	Parson is confirmed to be a caster, but it is still unknown which discipline.

	It has been speculated that Parson may be a [[Signamancer]], based on a variety of factors: [[Charlie]]'s hints that he can probably cast from [[scroll]]s, Signamancy being Fate-aligned Hippiemancy, [[Janis]]'s claim that he is a Hippiemancer, and perhaps the nature of Signamancy itself{{blog\|2009\|9\|summer-updates-037}} which meshes very well with Parson's ''ability'' to come up with new powerful (described as 'disturbing') game-changing strategies in [[Erfworld]]'s reality. It is possible that [[Janis]]'s claim is based on Parson's true nature, that is he is a gamer as opposed to and in addition to being a playing piece in a world bound by game like rules. Paradoxically as both an outsider and an expert, the ''significance'' of many aspects of Erfworld are quite clear to Parson in that he ''naturally'' looks to what everything in Erfworld ''signifies'' not what they "are".

	Finally, this perhaps explains many of Parsons relationships. He appears most comfortable in relationships with casters, Bogroll a notable exception. For example, his two closest companions in Erfworld are both casters; Maggie, who repeatedly notes he is a very different sort of warlord, and Sizemore, who stated very early on that he had a deep interest in all kinds of magic. It is possible that Sizemore's interest in Parson could be a subconscious reflection of this. Parson's comfort with them appeared most significant during a drunken Signamantic(?) conversation about the nature of time in Erfworld. [http://www.erfworld.com/summer-update-2009-archive/?px=%2FE029_JoeZuniga_DrunkTime.jpg] Last but not least, Signamancy would explain why he understands much of Jack's, the Foolamancer's, ''cloaked'' speech. As a Signamancer he would ''naturally'' be able to see clearly to a Foolamancer's ''cloaked'' meaning.		Finally, this perhaps explains many of Parsons relationships.

		+
		+	Most significantly, in [[LIAB Text 59]], the page which reveals Parson's casting ability, it states that Parson can now understand some of the things behind what he can see. It might just be referring to his new senses as a general caster, but it could also be referring to the basic power of Signamancy.

	Fate is believed to be controlled by the [[Titan]]s. Fate is planned up to a point, but every once in a while, there comes a very important turn where something must be decided, such as when Parson needed to decide whether or not to break the laws of the [[Magic Kingdom]] and enter an enemy portal without permission. Once said decision has been made, the Titans continue planning out their story from there.		Fate is believed to be controlled by the [[Titan]]s.

-	Predictamancy works by peering into the Titans' great plan or anything else that has similarly already been decided. Fate enforces itself by manipulating [[Luckamancy]] ~~and other behind the scenes mechanics (such as~~ the design of a newly [[pop]]ped unit) to ~~achieve the desired outcome~~. It likely nudges units into making certain decisions through [[intuition]] as well. With a great deal of difficulty, it is indeed possible to defeat fate, ~~even~~ without [[Carnymancy]], ~~but~~ it results in backlash against the person to resist their fate, causing an event that they like even less to occur.	+	Predictamancy works by peering into the Titans' great plan or anything else that has similarly already been decided. Fate enforces itself like a railroading or even cheating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamemaster game master] by manipulating behind the scenes mechanics. It can do so via [[Luckamancy]], the design of a newly [[pop]]ped unit and has even been shown to be capable of tampering with Parson's [[Mathamancy Bracer]]. It likely nudges units into making certain decisions through [[intuition]] as well. With a great deal of difficulty, it is indeed possible to defeat fate. The easiest way is by cheating it through [[Carnymancy]]. This results in a conflict between the two. For example, when Parson was trying to determine the odds of successfully casting a Carnymancy [[scroll]], Fate made his bracer flash a [[zero]] to dissuade him from trying, but Carnymancy allowed the true number to appear for a flash. Even without [[Carnymancy]], it is still possible to fight Fate, but this results in a backlash against the person to resist their fate, causing an event that they like even less to occur.
