Description:
A Warlock is a spellcaster who seeks the assistance of a vile creature, making the class a negative Karma Value counterpart to the Priest class who is granted powers from the gods of good.
Warlocks tap into the powers of the creature they are contracted with, which allows them to use the magic and abilities of their patron. This gives them the advantage over other spellcaster classes, as their "spells" simply consist of asking their patron for assistance, resulting in spells being automatically generated on the spot. At some point, they can even ask for the assistance of their patron's familiars.
The Warlocks need to be on good terms with their patron creature, which forces them to learn the [Prayer] skill, which allows them to offer a small part of their MP to their patron. It's not an instant need, but some patron creatures may be greedier than others, so do take care.
[Linguistics] is an essential skill for Warlocks. As they level up and gain more access to the powers of their patron, the Warlocks need to study how to activate the essential abilities they are granted by the Warlock. No Magician-line class is free from the threat of studying~.
Finally, the downsides of the class. The Warlock may gain incredible powers and casting speed, but they can never be granted powers more than 50% of their patron's full force. Even the Master-tier classes of the Warlock-line shares this weakness, where their greatest firepower is at most 80%. And this is only when the Warlock themselves is strong enough to perform these moves, as in having enough MP and control over the Invocation magic.
Noire's comment: My lady is simply amazing! She never seems to be hindered by those so-called limitations!
Garami's comment: Then she's got a damn powerful patron then. Her class was the advanced, Darkness Warlock class.... hey, don't tell me...
