Warlock

Much like the witches of fairy-tale fame, their magical talents are less controllable than that of traditional mages, yet formidable nonetheless. They are rather more talented at physical combat than most mage classes, despite being unable to use combat spells. The main characteristic of the witch class is its ability to tap into the magical secrets of others, attempting to 'steal' their magic by experimenting with the brewing of strange and wonderful (and terrible) potions.

Who can be a witch/warlock?

Armor

Warlocks can wear cloth and leather armor, and can use shields.

Experience by Race

How much experience a warlock of each race needs per level compared to normal (100%); higher means slower leveling. Which races may actually become a warlock is listed under Becoming a Warlock below.

Skills & Spells

Free at Creation

Every warlock starts with these, at no creation point cost.

Warlock Default Package (40 creation points)

Taking the default package at creation gives you all of the following:

Spell groups: Detection, Enhancement, Witchcraft, Illusion, Maladictions, Protective, Transportation (see Spell Groups below)

Skills

Skills a warlock can learn individually. Cost is in creation points at creation; after creation, skills are gained from your guildmaster for twice that many trains.

Spell Groups

Warlocks cannot buy spells one at a time; spells come in groups. Each group lists the level at which a warlock can cast each spell.

Racial Skills

Only warlocks of the listed race receive these.
