## Description

The Warlock is one of the few classes capable of using arcane magic, the art of distorting reality and the perception of space and time. The Warlock has high magic attack and so can deal a great amount of damage to enemies, especially when equipped with strong arcane spells. The Warlock also has good Magic Defense and Agility, making them useful against other magic-using classes, but being vulnerable to physical damage with their low Attack and Defense stats.

## Skills

The Warlock can morph into a creature up to twenty feet in height and gains abilities of the creature they become. TP Cost: 40

Illusion: The Warlock is able to create illusions; the illusion can be made up of an image or sound. The image cannot be larger than ten feet in height or width.\* TP Cost: 10

At Level 12, the teleport distance increases to 300 feet. At Level 16, the Warlock is able to register a single point anywhere they wish that they can then teleport things to later, and can dispel this point at will.

Curse: The Warlock places a curse on a single enemy target that will trigger each time they do a specific action. The curse can have one of the following results: inflicting with a status ailment, suffering magic damage, stumbling, or losing their grip on an item they have.

Reality Check: The Warlock causes the enemy to be more likely to miss attacks by warping their perception of reality.\* TP Cost: 30

## Overview

The Warlock is useful in any campaign, but will be particularly useful in battles against other magic-using classes.

The Shapeshift skill lets the Warlock morph into a monstrous form for three turns, and this form can be used to scare off people, perform incredible feats of strength, and execute attacks on enemies. Due to the Warlock's low Attack, this skill is not recommended for use in battle unless against enemies with low Defense.

The Fearmongering skill is useful for increasing the Warlock's stats, allowing them to deal more magical and physical damage and take it as well.

Teleport is a highly versatile skill that can be used to move around, get closer to an objective, evade attacks, acquire items, get to advantageous positions, rescue allies, and all sorts of things.

Summon Phantom is great for supporting the party as it adds another ally to the party temporarily.

Curse will damage an enemy each time they make a specific action or movement, this is very useful on enemies that work best when mobile or on leaders of enemy teams.

Reality Check is best used on enemies that use physical weapons so that the Warlock will be able to evade their attacks more easily, which can be paramount considering their low Defense stat.
