Warlock

**Warlocks** are hybrids of a Witch and a Demon, created when a witch sells their soul to a demon and they seal the deal with intercourse. Warlocks have all the same features as Witches, but also have demonic powers from their infernal parent.

## Physical Appearance

Warlocks look completely human, like Witches, but due to being part demon, they may also manifest demonic traits, like inhuman strength, the ability to adapt to any situation, speed, and an almost perfect appearance.

## Misconception

For centuries, Warlocks have been thought to be the male counterparts of witches, and have been depicted as such. However, the word "Warlock" actually refers to an "Oath-Breaker" or "Traitor." In essence, a warlock was someone who betrayed the Wiccan Rede.

## Weaknesses

Since they are demonic on the inside, they are vulnerable to:

**Holy Icons** - (Holy Water, Crucifixes, blessed Items, etc.)**:** It is said that the sight of holy icons, namely the cross or the crucifix, repulses the demon. The cross is one of mankind’s oldest forms of protection against evil, predating Christianity by centuries. It is associated with pagan sun deities and Heaven. In ancient times, the cross symbolized divine protection and prosperity. The symbolism of the cross was forever changed when Jesus Christ was crucified, sacrificing Himself by taking on the sins of the entire world, descending into Hell, and defeating the Devil. Holy Water burns demons that come into contact with it like acid.

**Silver** - Because of its purity and lustrous white color, silver is believed to possess protective powers against evil and negative influences. It is also said to have a supernatural association with the moon.

**Iron** - Demons may be able to be harmed by cold-forged iron. Demons can't touch or cross iron.

**Salt** - Due to its white color, purity, and its preservative properties, salt has always been associated with holiness and the triumph of good over evil, and has been used to repel witches, ghosts, demons, spirits, and all manner of evil beings. Furthermore, salt has a corrosive effect when it comes into contact with the demon’s skin. Demons are unable to cross a line of salt. Salt can be used to torture demons. It can also be put into shotgun rounds to hurt and knock back demons.

**Consecrated Bullet** - Under normal circumstances, firearms have little or no effect on Demons. However, a bullet that has been blessed by a priest (not necessarily silver) will slay the evil.

**Hallowed Places:** Neither can they cross hallowed ground or a blessed building.

**Solomon's Key** - It is a powerful circle that when a demon is inside of it, the demon is rendered powerless and it cannot cross through the circle.

**Fire** - Fire has been a powerful force against evil for centuries, as it is considered to be a symbol of God and the Holy Spirit, as well as one of nature’s most powerful purifiers. Burning the demon is without a doubt the most effective means of permanently annihilating the evil.

**Holy Water** - As water’s symbolism as a purifier and one of the Holy Sacraments is anathema to demon, an evil that is fully immersed in water (especially running water) will drown and be destroyed. A bathtub could work, but disposal of the creature’s body may prove to be problematic (as removing the Demon from the water will revive the creature).

**Angel's Touch** - An angel can physically kill a demon by touching them on the forehead with their hand. This power will not work if the demon is too powerful or if the angel is too weak.

**Palo Santo** - It is basically the wood version of holy water/salt, when a demon is stabbed the demon screams in pain and the wound smokes. It immobilizes demons long enough to perform an exorcism.
