So, how come...

It's true that Stanley does have a form of control, however depictions have currently been limited to mind-affecting compulsions such as you have noted. We have yet to see force feedback that would cause him to, for example, writhe on the ground in pain from a physical sensation.

We've seen the Jedi Mind Trick, but we have yet to see the Sith Force Choke.

Perhaps we already have... It's possible that Parson's headache here is partly the result of his resistance to Stanley's orders. Notice that his pain seem to go away once he does stand up. But this is debatable; it could be simply the continuing side effect of the summoning.

He gained a headache immediately though, on the preceeding page, prior to any orders being issued to resist. Odd that it would be a only a headache if the full body had been forced across dimensions. At a minimum, his toes should also be cold.

Well the money loop assumes that Parson would get the same toys each time, they banixh and resummon him.

The way I read it is that Parson himself would (assuming standard Erfworld logic holds true for people summoned by that spell) simply cease to exist on being disbanded (and might very well take that toy of his with him), and the spell would just grab the next nearest person from across the planes who just happened to fit the wording of the spell... and there's no guarantee that person would have a watch.

It does suggest that the 350.000 schmucker spell _might_ be open for exploitation, but it's a risky and expensive thing to fool around with,

Odd that it would be a only a headache if the full body had been forced across dimensions. At a minimum, his toes should also be cold.

It may be that his "booping skull" was the only thing that was of immediate concern to Parson.

Actually, they're in "siege mode" and seems liek they have no time to buy ANY spell at all. croaking or disbanding parson would be the worst and most stupid thing stanley can do, as he has a god-like troll-height chief warlord with over-half-milion tools and, mostly, he just killed 50 siege units without losing a single one dwagon...seems like money isn't the only thing that counts in erfworld

They should pawn Parson's latest toy, disband him, rebuy the ultimate summon spell for 350,000, resummon him, get the toy again, pawn it again, disband him again, rebuy the ultimate summon spell for 350,000, resummon Parson, maybe get that headache spell thingy, wait for the toy, ???, profit, etc.

Well... he gets stupid meals at morning, so that wouldn't work.

Didn't state a timeframe. It's still probably notable income if processed once every two days.

Maybe Happy Meal toys in another universe are incredibly valuable or powerful magical items or incredibly useful parts of amazing machines composed entirely of Star Wars and Disney movie figurines working in brilliant cohesion!

This is oddly consistent with the Fischer-Price appearance of the ArkenHammer....
