I just had an idle thought. I assume you've read the title of this thread and already know what it was. But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. The way warlocks cast, on a short-rest basis with flat slot levels, really fits with the notion that the magic isn't coming from them, but channeled from some other greater source. And, of course, they're not the only class that does that. Clerics, druids, rangers, and paladins all derive their power from what may be called patrons.
So the question is: are the traditional and the warlock casting systems balanced against each other? Is it really as simple as pulling one out and plugging in the other, or would we have to make some further adaptations? (I suppose the same question could also be reversed, if you wanted to make warlocks traditional spellcasters.)
