[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4713360, member: 63763"] I didn't really word it very well. Ultimately, whatever future con based class (and the idea I would think behind the con based infernal pact) was the channeling of power. Since the magic of the warlock involves making a deal ... it does bring to mind some of the magic "at a cost" type tropes, like magic aging people, weakening them from use, etc. Pop culture examples like the rapid aging of Darth Sidius [the whole 'dark side corruption' concept], and Smallville had it to with human's gaining superpowers applying a lot of strain to them physically. The Vestige pact could end up being a con based one (if they want to keep con and cha equally balanced) and it becomes less an issue of using willpower to keep control of the powerful personalities involved, but instead in the being able to survive the ammount of power funnelled into the body.
