While it's generally easiest to draw on the power of something roughly similar in attitudeto oneself, the fact that some people worship or bind themselves to the sources of their power is almost entirely incidental.It's only at higher levels that these sources may start to actually notice what specific individuals are doing with their power, since epic characters may actually be using a god or demons own power to work against him, or at the least leave him weakened while he's trying to pursue his own ends. This may require an epic level warlock to occasionally apply the smack-down to a rather enraged demon prince that doesn't like the way his infernal power is being used and abused by some up-start mortal warlock.</blockquote>
