That's what you did?

[TRat]

Tool and Wanda simply never considered retreating from a rattle after dealing damage as a viable tactic. In Erfworld, it just isn't done; which is why it took Vinny some time to even come up with that as a scenario where Ansom's forces winning every battle made sense.

Happiness or unhappiness hasn't set in yet; we're seeing shock and disbelief. To use a D&D analogy, it is the equivalent of witnessing a game-breaking feat combo comprised of something previously considered useless.

Exactly. Wanda's "That's what you did?" is shock at something that isn't possible by playing inside the rules. The whole point of summoning Parson was to bring in someone from outside the box who can manipulate the world.

Just to clarify, by 'the whole point', I don't mean that that is what Stanley or Wanda intended to do, I meant that is the point of the authors in introducing the character of Parson.
