What do warlocks have?

Warlocks have pacts with powerful beings (Patrons) that grant them unique, Charisma-based magic, powerful spells like Eldritch Blast, and versatile abilities through Invocations, making them adaptable spellcasters often focused on damage, battlefield control, or utility, though they tend to be "squishy" (low defense). In fantasy roleplaying games like D&D, they have limited but potent spell slots that recharge on short rests, allowing for frequent high-level spellcasting, plus unique features from their Patron (Fey, Fiend, Great Old One, etc.) and Pact Boons (Blade, Chain, Tome).
