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.</ins></div></td></tr>
