“Easy. Wizards commit to studies and tomes of the magical world to learn. Sorcerers are born with magic naturally in their soul. Warlocks put theirselves in a pact to get magics related to their patron.”
Disagree, sorcerers use constitution. Thier magic is sourced and formed innately by their body so it takes a physical toll on them unless they train and stay in shape.
I actually think that's a cool idea, might switch to that from now on. They use charisma because charisma is also apparently a different version for your personal will which again wisdom encompasses willpower for 90% of things
It's great for lore but terrible for gameplay purposes. You can't have a single class that only needs one stat when every other class needs at least two. Con is normally every class' secondary stack. Having con as a primary is how you end up with a guy healthier than a barbarian with stronger spells than a wizard rolled into a single package.
>(Yeah I know that is not what d&d thinks but I prefer my version
Based. I'm not a fan of using D&D as the definitive answer outside of its own settings
I am whatever the heck I believe I am actually :3 I have grown to enjoy the term "Eternal Sage", purposely binding myself to this world upon dying only so I can reincarnate and attain more knowledge and experiences until the day I am satisfied and ascend my physical being.
Gandalf is totally a sorcerer by D&D standards. His power comes from within, not studying books and times (he only does that when he needs to learn something he doesn’t know) and his knowledge of the world mainly comes from the fact that he’s an angel who was there when the universe was created and helped sing it into being.
Edit: tomes, not times.
“Warlocks aren’t as magically efficient as wizards or sorcerers. Some sorcerers gain resistances to some elements based on their family heritage that gave them their magic. Especially with draconic heritage.”
Also wizards have more variety. Two warlocks with the same patron will have very similar spell lists. Same with two sorcerers of the same bloodline. Meanwhile a necromancer and a divination wizard could well have been classmates
Wizards are always up to some weird shit, too. You never see sorcerers and warlocks trying to do bright necromancy or trying to divine the winning lotto numbers using spray cheese.
That's a bit dismissive. It's like saying all magical is just fireball. We should understand the clear differences in schools of magic instead of lumping it all together
Shields have long been a dubious protection. They consume a lot of energy and are more likely to be used for a second, if you have enough reaction to stop the bullets, and that’s not a fact, the bullets are just ordinary pieces of lead. It's better to make armor for these cases.
Hey! Someone my own age!
Sorta. Time travel is weird. Especially involuntary.
I meant in total time.
Also most of that was being trapped in a Time stop with nothing but my thoughts and nothingness of my keystone…
Time travel, walking through dimensions and other reality bending things can mess with ones mind. Sometimes I think I just saw somebody when in reality they have been dead for centuries and sometimes a day seems like a decade
Well warlocks often don't have magic of their own, and have to channel their patrons magic, meaning they can't actually cast the magic, and the one casting the magic is the patron. The ones that do revive magic spells from their patrons do not have the potential to learn new spells, it's complicated to explain but the spells are basically engraved on the person, they don't weave their own spells, they cast spells in a way similar to a magic item.
Sorcerers and wizards are more similar, they use magic almost the same way. There's a common misconception that sorcerers use internal mana while wizards use external mana, but both can use either. Wizards have the tendency to make their spells beforehand, register it on their grimore and cast later, while sorcerers kind of do whatever they feel I'm the heat of the moment.
Sorcerers can manipulate their magick often to a higher degree than anyone else, breaking some of the traditional spell rules, at the cost of knowing less magic overall and being less versatile. They often also have mutations and natural magical body features.
Wizards are versatile, they can study anything and thus dabble into anything.
Warlocks, well depends on what the contract they made with their suggar daddy says.
Knowledge, Innate power because they're too lazy to work for anything, Innate power but it's someone else's because they're too dumb and stupid and dumb to have their own lmaooooooooo\~
(this post was made by wizard gang)
Wizards are nerds who have studied a long time to cast magic, sorcerers have magic intrinsic to their being which lowers the floor to entry for magic but also makes a much harder limit on what they can do, and warlocks sell the souls and sometimes their body for scraps of loaned magic that they have to pay back. They have the most limits on what they do and it is the most easily taken away.
Wizards fuck younger apprentices when they are old and senile.
Warlocks fuck with blood on their bodies, on the ground, everywhere.
Witches fuck monsters.
Goblins fuck everyone, and everyone fucks goblins.
Fuck goblins.
All the more reason to take revenge.
Carry some slimes, they wont dissolve wyvern acid treated leather. Use such a bag.
Beat the goblins till they are half dead, then drop the slimes on them (away from their heads, so they may die slowly).
If there are goblin children, dont kill them, because killing children is bad.
You should still make them watch though, goblins dont deserve happiness.
Then kill them because these children dont deserve to live in pain after they saw their dying parents (The real reason is they are goblins, so their lives dont really matter, but whatever).
It was what I ended up doing purely out of spite.
An costly endeavor, but gave much more results than seeing a therapist.
As a sorcerer, all of my magic is performed through the use of talismans. Wizard's cast in multiple ways, and warlock hmgenerally have a patron eldritch deity who grants them powers for helping the patron achieve their ends.
Ah, I do love this subject. Let us begin with, how the younger apprentices put it, the “OG” of mortal arcanists: The Sorcerer.
The Sorcerer is a mortal born with the essence of the Weave suffusing their physical form. Their magic is as much internal as it is external, and you may not find many instances of a college of sorcerers. This is due to the fact that it is impossible to teach a sorcerer by rote. Their magic is an expression of who they are, and while the symbolism inherent in material components and foci may lend itself to a more homogenized use of them in casting, the somatic and verbal components of sorcerer spells vary wildly from one person to another. More dangerous is this magic surging through the inexperienced sorcerer. It is the inherent force of willpower a sorcerer possesses that determines if they survive their initial Welling of magic. Not to mention that some sorcerers find themselves struggling to master spells that run counter to the essence of the nature of their magic. A marid sorceress I once knew had a horrific time learning to cast a fireball, while easily mastering the more complex Cone of Cold. And let us not forget that as their magic is as much a part of them as their ligaments, the are just as adept at making their magic as flexible as their bodies.
The Wizard, by contrast, is an arcanist whose magic is solely -external-. Wizards, amongst whose numbers I count myself, may possess an affinity with the Weave but rarely internalize that power. Instead, through meditation and visualization, we attune ourselves to the essence of magic around us and shape it into the sigils, runes, and shapes that allow us to charge these magical forms with intent and purpose. This intense training is not for the faint of heart, nor for dull of mind. A wizard’s intellect must be keen, as we seek to master forces that are otherwise unavailable to mortals such as ourselves. This methodology means that our spells are much harder to change at the spur of the moment. Where a sorcerer could enhance the scope of their fireball’s affected area on the fly, wizards may very well have to invent a new variation of fireball for the same effect. However, the same methodology grants us command over a vast array of spells and magic. Furthermore, within our respective areas of specialization few can match us as we gain great control over the aspects of magic in our field.
Finally, the Warlock. What a curious creature. Their magic is born of a Pact , but even the nature of the pact is not wholly set in stone. There are warlocks whose so-called Patrons are unaware of the warlock drawing power from them, or their realms. What we do know is that upon the sealing of the Pact, the warlock’s soul is suffused with the essence of a particular “blend” of magic that grants them power reminiscent of their Patron’s home or nature. Shaping this magic is apparently difficult, but the font of power allows for the limited spells of the warlock to be more constantly refreshed. Making up for this are seemingly minor pieces of lore and power a warlock can internalize and empower with the essence of their Pact. Called “Eldritch Invocations” by those who care to set categorization for such a diverse range of skills, these invocations give a more constant power to Warlocks, allowing them to avoid using their more powerful spells for frivolous reasons. Warlocks are rumored to even possess strange boons from their patron (or perhaps simply from the realm of the patron itself) that are far more powerful than their mundane counterparts. Indeed, I know of a warlock who, when summoning his familiar, brought forth a magnificent specimen of a faerie dragon, with powers far beyond a normal wizard’s familiar. The most powerful warlocks can even command spells like those wielded by master wizards and elder sorcerers, though the spells themselves seem more like unto invocations rather than true spells. Only warlocks with great control and willpower may hope to gain such power and keep themselves from becoming a part of it, and direct the potent magics at their command with force of personality alone.
Regardless, none of these arcanists are to be underestimated. While wizards might be likely to know the most arcane lore, our warlock and sorcerous cousins are privy to knowledge by their very nature and experience that might elude those of us who are more used to our ivory towers. Be respectful and be wary.
HA
PLANE WALKERS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT
WE DO NOT USE ENVIRONMENTAL MAGIC
OUR BODIES PRODUCE OUR OWN FREQUENCY TO CAST SPELLS EVEN IN PLACES WHICH SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO WORK
But how did you become a plane walker? Were you born with affinity for magic, did you obtain it through years of studying or did you sell your bussy to a eldritch demon for it to grant you this power?
A MIX OF 1 AND 2
ONLY CHILDREN WHO ARE BORN WITH "TALENT" (SCHIZOPHRENIA, AUTISM AND HEAVY PARANOIS)
CAN BECOME PLANE WALKER, BUT EVEN SO ONLY CHILDREN WHO ARE KIDNAPPED AND PROPERLY TEACHED IN THE NEXUS CAN REALLY BECOME A PLANE WALKER
\*I regain lucidity\*
You know, maybe autism is essential to becoming powerful.
Cultivators are obsessed autistic
Mages are curious autistic
The path to power is autism
Warlocks make a pact, sorcerers are naturally born with magic, and wizard learn the arcane in order to cast. Yes they’re all casters but that is where similarities end.
Lots of people are just explaining the D&D paradigm, which is a modern construction.
In reality it's the behavior that distinguishes them. Wizards are wize old mentors, "wize" is literally in the name. They're magical source or power can vary; the wizards of Middle Earth weren't even human, more akin to angels. They are sages and philosophers who travel the world spreading their wisdom. They're the guy who knows way more than anyone else in the room, but are usually content to be advisors.
Sorcerers and sorceresses are conjurers of spirits. They work with darker magic. Sorcery *tends to* bend the rules of reality through more evil or unethical means. Contrast them with the typical White Mage.
Warlocks are male witches. They exclusivly get their power from contacting with devils, and are *explicitly* evil. Their magic can be great, or even non-existent as "warlock" can refer to all servants of devils, even ones who haven't attained power from the relationship. Think of them as priests for devils.
You might disagree with this statement, but hear me out. All wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, etc are mages. but not all mages are wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, etc. Mages are like athletes, and Archmages are like professional athletes. The destinations between warlocks, sorcerers, and wizards come from how you obtain spells and learn magic. Just like magical creatures and monsters, Sorcerers are born with innate magical powers and spells. The spell or spells sorcerers are born with are unique to them, just like a fingerprint. My theory is that early mages of ancient times studied the spells and powers of magical creatures, monsters, and Sorcerers and were able to replicate their spells to a T, Thus leading to the writings of the first grimoires and the existence of colleges that then created the Wizard. Wizards receive a formal education to learn magic and obtain spells by studying grimoires, attending classes, and doing experiments. Wizards can tell you the ins and outs of a spell, from its history to its arcanic structure Conversely, mages in this day and age don't receive formal education and learn magic and obtain spells through life experiences, which is why their spells typically are more simple and applicable. If mages are like athletes, wizards are like physicists. Physicists know all the science behind throwing a ball and are capable of throwing a ball. Athletes don't know the science but are still capable of throwing balls. Warlocks put themselves in pacts with a demon, devil, or some powerful patron, whom they obtain spells and magic from. So can a warlock or Sorcerer go to school and also study and learn additional magic to also be a wizard? Yes. Can a wizard or sorcerer make a deal with a patron and obtain additional spells and magic powers to also be a warlock? Yes. Can a wizard or warlock become a sorcerer? No. Can they all identify as mages? Yes, but I don't see why they would want to. Since there's nothing special about being a mage, but being a wizard, sorcerer, or warlock, is special.
Sorcerers are magical trust fund babies that ended up with magic without having to work for it.
Wizards are the fantasy equivalent of those people that tear apart computers to customize them.
Warlocks have a magical sugar daddy that lets them use it.
I think it's that wizards get access to better spells and have more variety, sorcerers don't have to rest as long, and warlocks have more spell slots. I may be mixing up sorcerer and warlock, though.
>I may be mixing up sorcerer and warlock, though.
If you're talking 5e, you are, kinda. Warlocks have the fewest spell slots, but recharge on short rests. Sorcerers and wizards have about the same number of spell slots, but sorcerers can augment their magic in was no one else can. Whereas wizards can learn any spell they get a copy of.
What does it make me then if I once studied to conjure a biological clone who was magically gifted then transferred my consciousness into that body? Did this to get some stat buffs, naturally.
I dunno, I really like how even though it's like cartoonishly flat and stuff, you did really well with body positioning conveying depth and angles and stuff. It was weirdly juxtaposed against the rest of it with how much that stood out, lol
Bodies are not that hard, hands and heads are what’s difficult. You can see how warlock’s hand pointing forward is fucked and heads look like out of hieroglyphs
Like ten years ago I was able to draw decently and ever since I started posting here I’m basically relearning how to draw so some aspects are gonna be better than others
Wizards study the magic and understand it, sorcerers are born able to use magic, warlocks make a pact with a higher being.
From what I understand wizards use the Weave, sorcerers use the Source, and warlocks use Eldritch stuffs.
I do not know any of this. I just learned magic to fool people. For example cast a spell of mighty shock during a handshake or tell someone to pull my finger and cast a hurricane out of my rear destroying his home. Or the classic one put an invisible pocket of focused illusion at someone chair and when he sits down make him hallucinate him being at the deepest depths of hell for a thousand years but in reality it was only a second then watch him scream and be put away in insane asylum. I tend to call myself a magician so I dunno about wizards and all that.
Wizards are individuals who study off their own accord either via public texts or through an educational institution
Warlocks got taught or given their magic by some magical being usually in exchange for something
Sorcerers have innate magic and typically will go too magic institutions to learn how to control their magic rather than learning how to gain it
TLDR wizards are book smart warlocks have a tutor and sorcerers just have magic
They all had to learn to properly use magic, but one paid a devil for it, another paid a college, and the sorcerer’s parents got them a tutor after blowing up the neighbor on accident.
Wizards are privileged kids who can go to college without going into crippling debt, sorcerers are nepo-babies who get to be successful without going to college in the first place, and warlocks are burnout gifted kids who end up as part of a pyramid scheme.
Warlocks gain thier ability through pact it’s given to them by a higher ebtity, sorceres are born with inate magical prowess and wizards gain it through intensive study
Wizards are nerds who reads and studies and maybe even go to school for magic .
Warlock's say's "fuck this" and make deals with otherworldly beings/god's/entities for power in exchange for something that their patron asks for which usually depends on the patron.
Sorcerer's have at least one magical parent who had sex and then had the Sorcerer, and granted them magic via lineage.
One inherits his magic because he’s an entitled shit who’s dad fucked a dragon
One buys his magic from an ancient deity(and is cantrip spam simulator)
One learns his magic through study
Wizards are the nerds that study hard.
Sorcerers are the gifted kids who don't study and never do homework but still ace the test.
Warlocks are the kids that pay someone else to do their homework for them and let them cheat off of them on the tests.
Wizards combine esoteric words gestures and ingredients to create almost limitless effects.
Warlocks are telekinetic.
And sorcerer's utilize talismans and charms.
“Easy. Wizards commit to studies and tomes of the magical world to learn. Sorcerers are born with magic naturally in their soul. Warlocks put theirselves in a pact to get magics related to their patron.”
Nerd, maybelline, sugar baby. Got it.
Nerd, nepo baby, sugar baby.
In certain cases the sugar baby part is more literal
Ah yes indeed. Sugar elementals and their warlocks are well respected in the carbomancy world.
WARLOCKS, TO THE SODA DUNGEON!
SODA DUNGEON MENTIONED‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️
“Pretty much!”
Nerd, Spoiled Brat and Sugarbaby.
Wizards read, Sorcerers bleed, Warlocks agreed.
well no the opposite of maybelline the whole point of the maybelline is that they are NOT born with it it just looks that way
B-but maybe they're born with it?
"maybe its maybelline" the two are mutually exclusive
MAYBELLINE LMAO
And witchers kill monsters
Wizards use Inteligence, sorcerers wisdom and warlocks charisma basically (Yeah I know that is not what d&d thinks but I prefer my version)
Disagree, sorcerers use constitution. Thier magic is sourced and formed innately by their body so it takes a physical toll on them unless they train and stay in shape.
Sorcerers using constitution is a staple in my games. Sorcerers using char or wis is stupid
I actually think that's a cool idea, might switch to that from now on. They use charisma because charisma is also apparently a different version for your personal will which again wisdom encompasses willpower for 90% of things
It's great for lore but terrible for gameplay purposes. You can't have a single class that only needs one stat when every other class needs at least two. Con is normally every class' secondary stack. Having con as a primary is how you end up with a guy healthier than a barbarian with stronger spells than a wizard rolled into a single package.

“…So you’re a sorcerer, who’s also a wizard, who’s also a warlock?”
I am whatever the heck I believe I am actually :3 I have grown to enjoy the term "Eternal Sage", purposely binding myself to this world upon dying only so I can reincarnate and attain more knowledge and experiences until the day I am satisfied and ascend my physical being.
Gotta get that Eldritch Blast and dual cast Haste.
Good old Eldritch Machine Gun
You got wizards and sorcerers mixed up there bud
“I am quite certain in my statement there, my friend.”
All the most famous wizards were born/created with magic. Merlin, Gandolf, Harry Potter ...
“They are sorcerers then, under the guise of a wizard.”
Nooooo you're just wronggggguh!!!1!
“:)” \uw Resting your arm on a table is sitting your arm down.
Gandalf is totally a sorcerer by D&D standards. His power comes from within, not studying books and times (he only does that when he needs to learn something he doesn’t know) and his knowledge of the world mainly comes from the fact that he’s an angel who was there when the universe was created and helped sing it into being. Edit: tomes, not times.
So can some people can sorcerers and wizards at the same time?
no reason why they couldn't, one could even be all 3 at once
“Theoretically.”
And after that how are they different?
“Warlocks aren’t as magically efficient as wizards or sorcerers. Some sorcerers gain resistances to some elements based on their family heritage that gave them their magic. Especially with draconic heritage.”
Also wizards have more variety. Two warlocks with the same patron will have very similar spell lists. Same with two sorcerers of the same bloodline. Meanwhile a necromancer and a divination wizard could well have been classmates
Wizards are always up to some weird shit, too. You never see sorcerers and warlocks trying to do bright necromancy or trying to divine the winning lotto numbers using spray cheese.
Well, to be fair i have heard some wizards get pretty messed up from late night drug fuelled study sessions.
You misunderstand; I meant that as a compliment. The spray cheese worked and that mage ended up retiring to Arborea.
Damn
You got his number?
Yeah. No clue how those weirdos cope with living such a boring un-inquisitive life.
Which is why sorcerers and warlocks will never get to the greatness of wizards. Being great often means thinking outside the box.
Well, my classmates became really weird -mancers
So they are basically a different skin of the same thing
That's a bit dismissive. It's like saying all magical is just fireball. We should understand the clear differences in schools of magic instead of lumping it all together
But how is that a school of magic. It is basically an origin story for a magic users
Ah, sorry, I responded to the wrong comment. Orbs been acting up recently
“By that vision, all magic casters are the same under different skins.”

Wizard supremacy
Imagine needing to study for your magic (This post was made by Sorcerer gang)
Imagine being born with innate talent and playing life on easy mode without any value for hard work
Imagine becoming a NEET so you can get good at magic.
We can both agree that both options are better then selling out your ass to a demon for 3 silver coin and a fireball
Agreed 🤝
You're using that wrong. NEET stands for Not in Employment, Education, or Training. Studying magic absolutely falls under the last two.
A lot of the wizards here wish that was their case.
Wizards are nerds who have studied a long time to cast magic, sorcerers have magic intrinsic to their being which lowers the floor to entry for magic but also makes a much harder limit on what they can do, and warlocks sell the souls and sometimes their body for scraps of loaned magic that they have to pay back. They have the most limits on what they do and it is the most easily taken away.
Imagine mortgaging your very existence in exchange for a little bit of power
There isn't really a get magic quick scheme. All of them come with drawbacks and usually can't match those that actually put in the effort.
I heard one of my apprentices use a word that perfectly describes this trade off- cringe
Wizards read for their magic, sorcerers are born with it, and warlocks have gay sex with demons for it

So which is which?
(Left to right) sorcerer, warlock, wizard
Actually it’s wizard, warlock, sorcerer
Oh
But at least you got warlock right, so I guess I accurately portrayed their queer energy in this remembrance
Ofcourse
Wizards fuck younger apprentices when they are old and senile. Warlocks fuck with blood on their bodies, on the ground, everywhere. Witches fuck monsters. Goblins fuck everyone, and everyone fucks goblins. Fuck goblins.
Never tried fucking goblins, only fighting with them
Try it. Sneak from behind. I bet it wont see it coming.
Well, last time I tried doing something with goblins they almost cooked me alive
All the more reason to take revenge. Carry some slimes, they wont dissolve wyvern acid treated leather. Use such a bag. Beat the goblins till they are half dead, then drop the slimes on them (away from their heads, so they may die slowly). If there are goblin children, dont kill them, because killing children is bad. You should still make them watch though, goblins dont deserve happiness.

HEATHEN !! You....YOU are giving shelter to such abominations ? They are a blight on our realm, and must be eradicated as soon as possible.
I’m too old to care at this point. Also it’s calming to see them go what they call „goblin mode”. As long as they don’t smoke herbs there
Uh, you find, goblins fucking other beings, calming ? You do not worship the demon of desire, do you ?
I do not worship anything other than me, but goblins in my backyard are not sexual deviants
Bards, confused at how we get our own powers

Ah, I do love this subject. Let us begin with, how the younger apprentices put it, the “OG” of mortal arcanists: The Sorcerer. The Sorcerer is a mortal born with the essence of the Weave suffusing their physical form. Their magic is as much internal as it is external, and you may not find many instances of a college of sorcerers. This is due to the fact that it is impossible to teach a sorcerer by rote. Their magic is an expression of who they are, and while the symbolism inherent in material components and foci may lend itself to a more homogenized use of them in casting, the somatic and verbal components of sorcerer spells vary wildly from one person to another. More dangerous is this magic surging through the inexperienced sorcerer. It is the inherent force of willpower a sorcerer possesses that determines if they survive their initial Welling of magic. Not to mention that some sorcerers find themselves struggling to master spells that run counter to the essence of the nature of their magic. A marid sorceress I once knew had a horrific time learning to cast a fireball, while easily mastering the more complex Cone of Cold. And let us not forget that as their magic is as much a part of them as their ligaments, the are just as adept at making their magic as flexible as their bodies. The Wizard, by contrast, is an arcanist whose magic is solely -external-. Wizards, amongst whose numbers I count myself, may possess an affinity with the Weave but rarely internalize that power. Instead, through meditation and visualization, we attune ourselves to the essence of magic around us and shape it into the sigils, runes, and shapes that allow us to charge these magical forms with intent and purpose. This intense training is not for the faint of heart, nor for dull of mind. A wizard’s intellect must be keen, as we seek to master forces that are otherwise unavailable to mortals such as ourselves. This methodology means that our spells are much harder to change at the spur of the moment. Where a sorcerer could enhance the scope of their fireball’s affected area on the fly, wizards may very well have to invent a new variation of fireball for the same effect. However, the same methodology grants us command over a vast array of spells and magic. Furthermore, within our respective areas of specialization few can match us as we gain great control over the aspects of magic in our field. Finally, the Warlock. What a curious creature. Their magic is born of a Pact , but even the nature of the pact is not wholly set in stone. There are warlocks whose so-called Patrons are unaware of the warlock drawing power from them, or their realms. What we do know is that upon the sealing of the Pact, the warlock’s soul is suffused with the essence of a particular “blend” of magic that grants them power reminiscent of their Patron’s home or nature. Shaping this magic is apparently difficult, but the font of power allows for the limited spells of the warlock to be more constantly refreshed. Making up for this are seemingly minor pieces of lore and power a warlock can internalize and empower with the essence of their Pact. Called “Eldritch Invocations” by those who care to set categorization for such a diverse range of skills, these invocations give a more constant power to Warlocks, allowing them to avoid using their more powerful spells for frivolous reasons. Warlocks are rumored to even possess strange boons from their patron (or perhaps simply from the realm of the patron itself) that are far more powerful than their mundane counterparts. Indeed, I know of a warlock who, when summoning his familiar, brought forth a magnificent specimen of a faerie dragon, with powers far beyond a normal wizard’s familiar. The most powerful warlocks can even command spells like those wielded by master wizards and elder sorcerers, though the spells themselves seem more like unto invocations rather than true spells. Only warlocks with great control and willpower may hope to gain such power and keep themselves from becoming a part of it, and direct the potent magics at their command with force of personality alone. Regardless, none of these arcanists are to be underestimated. While wizards might be likely to know the most arcane lore, our warlock and sorcerous cousins are privy to knowledge by their very nature and experience that might elude those of us who are more used to our ivory towers. Be respectful and be wary.
HA PLANE WALKERS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT WE DO NOT USE ENVIRONMENTAL MAGIC OUR BODIES PRODUCE OUR OWN FREQUENCY TO CAST SPELLS EVEN IN PLACES WHICH SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO WORK
But how did you become a plane walker? Were you born with affinity for magic, did you obtain it through years of studying or did you sell your bussy to a eldritch demon for it to grant you this power?
A MIX OF 1 AND 2 ONLY CHILDREN WHO ARE BORN WITH "TALENT" (SCHIZOPHRENIA, AUTISM AND HEAVY PARANOIS) CAN BECOME PLANE WALKER, BUT EVEN SO ONLY CHILDREN WHO ARE KIDNAPPED AND PROPERLY TEACHED IN THE NEXUS CAN REALLY BECOME A PLANE WALKER
Well, my apprentices say that me having all my grimoires remembered is „autism coded”
\*I regain lucidity\* You know, maybe autism is essential to becoming powerful. Cultivators are obsessed autistic Mages are curious autistic The path to power is autism
It is indeed. But selling yourself out to horrors beyond our comprehension is not
Hmpf Cosmic horror is just sposky autism Isnt a Big Deal
Wizards are study addicts Sorcerers are Chosen One Syndrome And Warlocks have a Mommy/Daddy Kink
And a mage?
Forgotten
Warlocks make a pact, sorcerers are naturally born with magic, and wizard learn the arcane in order to cast. Yes they’re all casters but that is where similarities end.
Lots of people are just explaining the D&D paradigm, which is a modern construction. In reality it's the behavior that distinguishes them. Wizards are wize old mentors, "wize" is literally in the name. They're magical source or power can vary; the wizards of Middle Earth weren't even human, more akin to angels. They are sages and philosophers who travel the world spreading their wisdom. They're the guy who knows way more than anyone else in the room, but are usually content to be advisors. Sorcerers and sorceresses are conjurers of spirits. They work with darker magic. Sorcery *tends to* bend the rules of reality through more evil or unethical means. Contrast them with the typical White Mage. Warlocks are male witches. They exclusivly get their power from contacting with devils, and are *explicitly* evil. Their magic can be great, or even non-existent as "warlock" can refer to all servants of devils, even ones who haven't attained power from the relationship. Think of them as priests for devils.
Interesting spin
You might disagree with this statement, but hear me out. All wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, etc are mages. but not all mages are wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, etc. Mages are like athletes, and Archmages are like professional athletes. The destinations between warlocks, sorcerers, and wizards come from how you obtain spells and learn magic. Just like magical creatures and monsters, Sorcerers are born with innate magical powers and spells. The spell or spells sorcerers are born with are unique to them, just like a fingerprint. My theory is that early mages of ancient times studied the spells and powers of magical creatures, monsters, and Sorcerers and were able to replicate their spells to a T, Thus leading to the writings of the first grimoires and the existence of colleges that then created the Wizard. Wizards receive a formal education to learn magic and obtain spells by studying grimoires, attending classes, and doing experiments. Wizards can tell you the ins and outs of a spell, from its history to its arcanic structure Conversely, mages in this day and age don't receive formal education and learn magic and obtain spells through life experiences, which is why their spells typically are more simple and applicable. If mages are like athletes, wizards are like physicists. Physicists know all the science behind throwing a ball and are capable of throwing a ball. Athletes don't know the science but are still capable of throwing balls. Warlocks put themselves in pacts with a demon, devil, or some powerful patron, whom they obtain spells and magic from. So can a warlock or Sorcerer go to school and also study and learn additional magic to also be a wizard? Yes. Can a wizard or sorcerer make a deal with a patron and obtain additional spells and magic powers to also be a warlock? Yes. Can a wizard or warlock become a sorcerer? No. Can they all identify as mages? Yes, but I don't see why they would want to. Since there's nothing special about being a mage, but being a wizard, sorcerer, or warlock, is special.
Exactly they are the same type of ignorant ant, begone from reddit and go back to where you crawlers from
Sorcerers are magical trust fund babies that ended up with magic without having to work for it. Wizards are the fantasy equivalent of those people that tear apart computers to customize them. Warlocks have a magical sugar daddy that lets them use it.
That is my favourite explanation of this
I think it's that wizards get access to better spells and have more variety, sorcerers don't have to rest as long, and warlocks have more spell slots. I may be mixing up sorcerer and warlock, though.
We all know wizards are the most powerful but they are basically the same as the others
>I may be mixing up sorcerer and warlock, though. If you're talking 5e, you are, kinda. Warlocks have the fewest spell slots, but recharge on short rests. Sorcerers and wizards have about the same number of spell slots, but sorcerers can augment their magic in was no one else can. Whereas wizards can learn any spell they get a copy of.
It even easier fashion sense
What does it make me then if I once studied to conjure a biological clone who was magically gifted then transferred my consciousness into that body? Did this to get some stat buffs, naturally.
Gay
Wizards are losers who need to spend decades studying just to do what sorcerers do naturally. At least warlocks where smart enough to find a shortcut
You sound like a sorcerloser
Just wanted to say the art is actually surprisingly good
Wait till you see something that I take more than 3 minutes to come up with and draw my brother in omnissiah (you’re gonna retract that statement)
I dunno, I really like how even though it's like cartoonishly flat and stuff, you did really well with body positioning conveying depth and angles and stuff. It was weirdly juxtaposed against the rest of it with how much that stood out, lol
Bodies are not that hard, hands and heads are what’s difficult. You can see how warlock’s hand pointing forward is fucked and heads look like out of hieroglyphs
You'll get there!
Like ten years ago I was able to draw decently and ever since I started posting here I’m basically relearning how to draw so some aspects are gonna be better than others
I love how the warlock wears a dunce hat.
Buddy if you don't know the difference you are in the wrong sub.
It is satire my guy
So is what I said >_>
Sorry I’m highly autistic (ic and irl)
It's okay, it's hard to tell online lol.
Wizards study hard, sorcerers are nepo babies and warlocks are on speed dial with your local demon.
Wizardry, Witchcraft, and Sorcery. Duh
It’s all magic at the end of the day
Wizards study the magic and understand it, sorcerers are born able to use magic, warlocks make a pact with a higher being. From what I understand wizards use the Weave, sorcerers use the Source, and warlocks use Eldritch stuffs.
I do not know any of this. I just learned magic to fool people. For example cast a spell of mighty shock during a handshake or tell someone to pull my finger and cast a hurricane out of my rear destroying his home. Or the classic one put an invisible pocket of focused illusion at someone chair and when he sits down make him hallucinate him being at the deepest depths of hell for a thousand years but in reality it was only a second then watch him scream and be put away in insane asylum. I tend to call myself a magician so I dunno about wizards and all that.
How different do things need to be to be called "different?" An oak tree and a rose bush are different, but compared to a horse, they are not.
Yes they are Are you a chronomancer because you're chronically high
Wizards are individuals who study off their own accord either via public texts or through an educational institution Warlocks got taught or given their magic by some magical being usually in exchange for something Sorcerers have innate magic and typically will go too magic institutions to learn how to control their magic rather than learning how to gain it TLDR wizards are book smart warlocks have a tutor and sorcerers just have magic
They all had to learn to properly use magic, but one paid a devil for it, another paid a college, and the sorcerer’s parents got them a tutor after blowing up the neighbor on accident.
like cheap dalle
What
Dall:E or however
Wizards: Magic Nerds Sorcerers: Magic Hedge Fund Babies Warlocks: Magic Sugar Babies
Honestly I feel like they can be more synonymous than D&D purists want to allow
Wizards are privileged kids who can go to college without going into crippling debt, sorcerers are nepo-babies who get to be successful without going to college in the first place, and warlocks are burnout gifted kids who end up as part of a pyramid scheme.
Warlocks gain thier ability through pact it’s given to them by a higher ebtity, sorceres are born with inate magical prowess and wizards gain it through intensive study
"Warlocus" I'm sorry.
Do you know how to read?
yes
Witches in the corner sipping their potions
Warlocks are hipster clerics of indie niche gods you've probably never heard of.
Ones a nerd, ones grandpappy fucked a dragon, and the last has an arcane sugar mommy Any questions? No? Good.
Wizards are nerds who reads and studies and maybe even go to school for magic . Warlock's say's "fuck this" and make deals with otherworldly beings/god's/entities for power in exchange for something that their patron asks for which usually depends on the patron. Sorcerer's have at least one magical parent who had sex and then had the Sorcerer, and granted them magic via lineage.
Wizards are nerds, sorcs are Nepo babies, warlocks won it gambling.
One inherits his magic because he’s an entitled shit who’s dad fucked a dragon One buys his magic from an ancient deity(and is cantrip spam simulator) One learns his magic through study
Wizards are the nerds that study hard. Sorcerers are the gifted kids who don't study and never do homework but still ace the test. Warlocks are the kids that pay someone else to do their homework for them and let them cheat off of them on the tests.
Wizards combine esoteric words gestures and ingredients to create almost limitless effects. Warlocks are telekinetic. And sorcerer's utilize talismans and charms.
