Warlock

A warlock is an arcanist who gains power through pacts with powerful entities, most commonly baatezu, elder evils of the Far Realm, fey, or tanar'ri. Warlocks cast special spells called invocations, which are released through sheer force of will rather than by trained practice or innate ability. The spells of a warlock tend to be more powerful and deadly than those of a wizard, though with limited range or area of effect. When forced into combat, experienced warlocks often elude enemy blows through spells of flying, teleportation, or invisibility.
