D&D Wizards are people who learn magic through study. They learn how the Wave functions and how to manipulate it with words, gestures, and materials, to achieve a desired magical effect. Theoretically, anyone could do what wizards do, but it takes a great deal of dedication and no small amount of intelligence to learn to do. Wizards learn spells as magical formulae, and record these formulae in spellbooks, so they can access more of them than anyone could hope to memorize.A sorcerer is someone who is born with an inherent ability to manipulate the weave. What wizards dedicate their lives to learning to do comes as second nature to sorcerers. They can even manipulate the weave to a finer degree than wizards can, though it takes a concerted effort to do so - represented by sorcery points and Metamagic.Warlocks don’t manipulate the weave themselves. They entreat beings of great magical power to do it for them. If you like, think of a warlock’s patron imbuing the warlock with spells, as a wizard might do with a wand. That’s theoretically why warlocks’ spell slots work differently than anyone else’s. They’re like the “charges” in a wand, that you spend to cast spells from the wand.</blockquote>
