Warlock

Warlocks are supernatural male beings who are born with the power to affect change by magical means (Witchcraft).

Basic Powers
The basic powers of every warlock include:


 * Spell Casting: The power to change and control events through the use of incantations.
 * Potion Brewing: The power to brew and concoct potions, remedies and elixirs that have supernatural properties.

Other Powers

 * Elemental Control: The power to control and manipulate the elements of air, earth, fire, and water.
 * Telekinesis: The power to move objects and persons through mental influence.
 * Pain Infliction: The power to create excruciating migraines through supernatural means.
 * Divination: The power to divine future, past, and present events based off extrasensory perception.
 * Clairvoyance: The power to divine future, past or present events through instinctive knowledge.

Uncommon Powers

 * Astral Projection: The power to separate from one's body and project the mind to another location or to instantaneously travel from one point to another.
 * Transmogrification: The unique power to alter the physical structure of objects living or dead, changing their form.
 * Illusions: The power to alter the senses of others to perceive a false reality.
 * Resurrection: The power to bring someone or one's self back from the dead.
 * Dream Manipulation: The power to control people's dreams through spells.

Weaknesses

 * Disbelief: The act of denying or disbelieving in one's potential could cause a warlock to inadvertently suppress his magical power.
 * Distraction: Denying a warlock from concentrating or giving full attention to his spells, may render him ineffective. Since most spells are spoken verbally and take time to take effect, warlcoks are vulnerable to attack before their completion. Additionally, certain spells require items, tools, and/or special events during casting, therefore they can't be invoked on mere whim.
 * Emotions: A warlock's magic is subject to the influence of their emotional state and may fluctuate according to them when untrained. According to John Constantine, strong emotions such as worry and anger can fuel a warlock's power while emotions such as fear may prevent a warlock from properly accessing his powers.
 * Overexertion: The excessive use of magic could lead to disorientation, nose bleeds, unconsciousness, and if taken to the extreme, death.

Spells and Rituals
One of the defining characteristics of a warlock is their ability to cast spells; a "spell" being the word used to signify the means employed to carry out a magical action. A spell could consist of a ritual action, a set of words, a verse, or any combination of these.
