Magic people with a different path of practicing magic than the kind the wizards learn from books or clerics learn through prayer or even from the wild magic surging through a sorcerer (though to most folks it's all just magic. Most Warlocks claim sorcerous bloodlines as the source of their power and, while some have periodically made claims to the contrary, there is no known divination able to differentiate the origins of magic. There is little scholarship into the matter of Warlocks and their pacts, so it is unknown if induction or singular-contact is the most common form of pact creation. | Magic people with a different path of practicing magic than the kind the wizards learn from books or clerics learn through prayer or even from the wild magic surging through a sorcerer (though to most folks it's all just magic).

Violently anti-warlock groups such as the [[Wytchfinder Family]] exist and a fairly common conception of warlocks is they're likely to be strange and likely dangerous cultists or demon summoners. As a result most Warlocks' operations top out with at most with a single apprentice or small cell of acolytes. These groups are encouraged to stay small, for obvious reasons, although there are some rumors (again, largely pushed by the Wytchfinder Family) that some such cults have proliferated enough to establish shadowy networks across broad regions and infiltration of religious and state power structures over the century since their advent. | Violently anti-warlock groups such as the [[Wytchfinder Family]] exist and a fairly common conception of warlocks is they're likely to be strange and likely dangerous cultists or demon summoners.
