prepare thyself

wizards is imbued with magic, you just need to prepare mentally your spells.

sorcerer studied magic, you need to physically prepare your spells and often need materials.

warlock has magic because of demon, you have access to mainly dark magic as well as eldritch blast as a free unlimited cantrip.

to be honest, play-wise wizards & sorcerers are very similar as they tend to have a lot of shared spells. sorcerers get to specialize in a school of magic more than wizards though. and warlock its pretty much just dark magic.

this, except reverse wizards and sorcerers.

sorcerers innately have their magic (usually because someone fucked a magic being. often a dragon)

wizards studied magic and learned accordingly. they also tend to be older, but not always.

warlocks get their magic from pacts with magic beings (which i don’t think necessarily have to be demons).

As @tymna just said. @wearesorcerer & @we-are-warlock

Like this?

To paraphrase many posts:

How did you get your magic, Magic Person?

Warlock: THE DEMONS COMMUNE WITH ME.

Wizard: … I’m ninety, live in a tower, and read all day. where the fuck do you think? (Alternate answer: Basically radically experimental guerilla chemists)

Sorcerer/ess: Natural ability and a stupid amount of work!

Druid: The plants love me! I love the plants! Have you met my wife she is a shrub! T H E   P L A N T S   E M P O W E R    M E

Cleric: I am a literal saint back the fuck off and do your job if you want heals.

Bard: IDK i was in a rap battle and the other guy literally caught fire so like…. yeah.

Reblogging again for the Druid, Cleric, and that bard line.

[ID a tweet by Ethan Dowden aka theejdude that reads: you may think playing Dungeons and Dragons is about going into dungeons and fighting dragons, but it’s actually me and my friend rolling dice to find out which of us a make-believe horse likes more. END ID]

“This last is the situation, as I see it, between my A Wizard of Earthsea and J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter. I didn’t originate the idea of a school for wizards — if anybody did it was T.H.White, though he did it in single throwaway line and didn’t develop it. I was the first to do that. Years later, Rowling took the idea and developed it along other lines. She didn’t plagiarize. She didn’t copy anything. Her book, in fact, could hardly be more different from mine, in style, spirit, everything. The only thing that rankles me is her apparent reluctance to admit that she ever learned anything from other writers. When ignorant critics praised her wonderful originality in inventing the idea of a wizards’ school, and some of them even seemed to believe that she had invented fantasy, she let them do so. This, I think, was ungenerous, and in the long run unwise.“

i found the specific quote i was thinking of x

Q: Nicholas Lezard has written ‘Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.’ What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I’d like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling’s writing style

UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a “school novel”, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

damn gurl :’]
