1) The boar was CrAn'ed.  Its already hella magical.

2) IIRC, this was from our discussion of alternate parma rules, trying
to close the loopholes that are bothering some poeple.  The idea being
that if you cast a spell at an object, that object becomes slightly
in-tune with your parma (perhaps till you recast your parma), and thus
your parma won't work on it.  So in the above example, if you Creo the
boar, it can attack you through parma.
