[QUOTE="johnkzin, post: 7286365, member: 6922144"] You have a talent for sensing and manipulating the threads living Weave itself. You sought out and were taught by a group of like minded weave-sensitive beings. There are many such groups: The Bendu, the Guardians of the Weave, and others. They taught you how to develop your own relationship with the Weave, so that you can continue your journey to discovery of its secrets. (I've been independently thinking about this as well; for me, it's a Jedi-like build for the Warlocks -- your mentors aren't the source of power, but your connection to that power is more like that of a Warlock than of a Sorcerer or Wizard. You directly sense the weave. You directly manipulate it. You develop a relationship with it, sort of like the Tao, but it's not necessarily a conscious entity.) I'm also looking at a variation of the Shillelagh cantrip: Eldritch Weapon. Take all of Shillelagh's mechanics, but: no material component (not even a weapon), it creates a weapon (any that the caster is proficient with) that does 1d8 force damage. It can be used exactly like the weapon created, except it can't be thrown (just like Shillelagh, the spell ends the moment you let go of the weapon). But, it CAN be used with any Eldritch Invokations that work with Pact of the Blade, or that make sense for a Melee version of Eldritch Blast (so, a whip could use Grasp of Hadar to pull a target from 10 feet to 5 feet, or a warhammer could use Repelling Blast to push away an adjacent target ... but you couldn't use Eldritch Spear). But it doesn't really map to the "wild magic" you're trying to steal from the Sorcerer class. I mainly replied because I've been thinking about Jedi as "Warlocks whose patron is the Weave itself."
