Default I'm pretty sure he is

Stanley was fairly smug that Ansom wasn't attuned, and seems to be able to do a variety of tricks with the Hammer. Unlike Ansom and his pliers, which he could only use as a weapon (that we saw, anyway).

I think this is one of those "the author thought it was so obvious from art and implications that it's never explicitly stated" kinda things.

Possibly. Parson divided them by move. Higher move may be due to a higher level or due to different types.

Yeah, I would have assumed that was due to breed. Leveling, to me, seems more likely to bring about a boost to other stats in a heavy like dwagons, Although I suppose it could vary by breed, so Pink Dwagons are better skirmishers, Blue are Heavy hitters, and Red is all-around, which would change what happened when they leveled.

I would guess at a combination of breed and level or just level, considering that all of Parson's carefully orchestrated dwagon attacks featured dwagons of multiple colours.

Whether she had the assurance of it or not is irrelevant. She believed that the prophecy meant that she would get the Arkenhammer. She interpreted it incorrectly and is arrogant, as you rightfully point out.

That still doesn't speak against the fact that Wanda broke the "natural magic" of Loyalty. And we're not even entirely sure about what that means. But if personal judgement counts for anything, then Wanda didn't think she was betraying Faq.

Wounded dragons. Fighting against three warlords and an artifact.

Not at first. Thought, your point still holds: these are the dragons that were too wounded to continue taking one or two hits: they were really low on health.

And against an artifact and three warlords.

Parson explicitly made a point about how bonuses are important in Erfworld:

Jillian's leadership bonus alone made her Parson's first target once she decided to attack the dragons:
