Is there fantasy that isn't like this

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The basic options for magic are:

  • Sorcerers: Magic blood line or other innate gift of birth. Basically magic aristocracy.
  • Wizards: Usually anyone can be a wizard, its the magic equivelent of studying hard in college.
  • Warlocks: Anyone can be a warlock if they're willing to make a deal with the devil; the magic equivelent of dropping out to become a stripper.

Pretty much every fantasy has the magical aristocracy but the latter two are available to regular people in a lot of fantasies too, though wizardry is often gatekept and magical pacts tend to be for villains only.

I love comparing becoming a warlock to becoming a stripper

Especially since it doesn't have to be a devil per se, just any entity that's more powerful than you and willing to share.

That is to say: GOO-locks strip for C'thulu

Gotta get that magic sugar daddy.

Are people getting powers in return for stripping for C'thulu?

And here I am, just doing it for fun.
