It's only gradually escaping that legacy. Warlocks are slightly different - especially as they have invocations.Why can't the wizard be happy making attack rolls using fighter weapons and claiming Mage Armour and scorching bolts.Not all magic is spells. Why do you think it is?But why could Merlin cast spells? He was the son of a cambion. Why could Circe? She was a literal goddess. Why could Gandalf? He was one of the Maiar. Almost every mythological wizard has something supernatural about their ancestry.If you want to say "fighters shouldn't be able to do supernatural things unless their parents are supernatural" then we should restrict wizards to the abilities of literal real world stage conjurers. Either that or say that fighters are just as entitled to supernatural birthrights as wizards are. Or we can just assume that birthrights are silly.</blockquote>
