The difference between spellcasters, wizards, warlocks, and priests in Western Illusion

In Western fantasy novels, the transcendent is roughly divided into two categories: warriors, such as knights, thieves, archers, etc.; mages, such as wizards, mages, warlocks, priests, etc. Of course, there are some other types, but basically they can be classified into the above two categories, such as Druid can be seen as a martial arts double cultivation, that is, he can be a warrior or a mage; such as an orc shaman, basically a special mage. Let's talk about spellcasters today.

In spellcasters, no matter which type, it is basically possible to crush the same rank of warriors, especially on the battlefield, with and without casters are basically two concepts. In particular, casters with ranged magic can even determine the outcome of a war.

Pastors should be the easiest spell casters, basically not requiring much qualifications, but also the most difficult to become, and it requires devout faith in the gods. The gods are the source of the priest's spells and need to be given by the gods. The stronger the gods, the stronger the priest will be, but when the gods fall, the priest will lose all his powers. It is impossible for a priest to become a god, and the best result is to enter the kingdom of god before the demigods, otherwise they can only become intercessors after death, and become tools to provide faith for the gods.

The warlock should be the most powerful in the early days. Because the warlock casts spells by the bloodline, by awakening the spells in the bloodline to cast spells. But success is also bloodline, and defeat is also bloodline. Although in the early days, it quickly became stronger through the bloodline, but in the later stage, the bloodline became a shackle and a shackle, because no matter how high the warlock's achievements were, it was impossible to be higher than the source of the bloodline. The origin of the bloodline limits the highest achievements of the warlock.

Mages should be the most universal casters. Generally, as long as the spiritual power is satisfied, you can become a mage. The mage's spells are all learned, and then spells are cast by spells, gestures, staffs, etc. But mages also have a ceiling, either to become elemental messengers or to become gods of the goddess of magic. Due to the fierce competition among the gods, it is also difficult to ascend to the heavens. Moreover, the mage's casting relies heavily on the magic net, and if the magic net goes wrong, the mage's ability will be seriously reduced.

Wizards are the other way to cast spells. They study everything that can be studied, and knowledge is the fullest manifestation of power in wizards. The more powerful the wizard, the richer the knowledge. And the wizards with insufficient knowledge can't even advance. Wizards have no upper limit, he can even be more powerful than the gods, and the gods are only one of the targets of their research.

No matter what kind of spell caster, it is synonymous with mystery and power, and it is the upper class of the Western Illusion, the high-level person of the transcendent.
