Since Parson is confirmed as a caster, speculation no longer applies.

	Passing through a portal does not follow the known [[Movement]] rules. It apparently does not require movement points, as proven when [[Parson]] was able to use a portal despite being a garrison unit with zero move. Further, units may pass through the portal when it is not their turn, because [[Parson]] and his casters leave Gobwin Knob during the [[Royal Crown Coalition]]'s turn, and return during the night (between turns). {{erf\|1\|136}}		Passing through a portal does not follow the known [[Movement]] rules.

-	As noted above, non-casters are disbanded when they enter a portal. However, Parson was able to pass through without disbanding, and arrive in the Magic Kingdom. A definitive reason for this has not yet been presented. [[Janis]] stated that Parson was actually a Hippiemancer, which may or may not be correct. Some other possibilities are: the portal could not see Parson's [[stats]] and therefore did not "know" he was a non-caster; the [[Mathamancy Bracer]] makes its wearer count as a Mathamancer; Parson as a non-native of Erf is immune to disbanding; or, contrary to what everyone believes, portals don't really automatically disband non-casters. (This last would beg the question of what happened to Queen Bea when she attempted suicide by portal.)

		+
		+	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".

Line 114:		Line 116:

	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.

[http://www.erfworld.com/2011/06/book-2-%e2%80%93-page-63/]		Carnymancy is described as a magic to fight Fate and [succeed], or in the words of [[Parson]] validated by [[Jeftichew]], a carnymancer, "the magic of rigging the game." [http://www.erfworld.com/2011/06/book-2-%e2%80%93-page-63/]
-	*Can rig rules in a unit's favor. It appears that the Carnymancer makes a 'deal' to do this, at least for some of these events, though the exact nature of this bargain is unclear. 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).
