When they aren't adventuring, they're experimenting and crafting spells that produce a number of different effects. All of which involve a lot of trial and error to get right at some point in time.A D&D Sorcerer otoh is someone whose physical/mental being has been touched by magic in some way (by having a magical ancestor such as a dragon, a celestial, a fiend, etc.) or just by spending too much time in an area steeped with magic. Like the Wizard, they do a lot of trial and error trying to master what's inside of them and themselves. Unlike the Wizard, they can 'bend' magic and use it without preparation. Lastly, a D&D Warlock IMO is sort of like the arcane equivalent of a cleric. They have been contacted by a powerful being and have been offered a measure of its' power via a pact (which is just the opposite of how a cleric receives their powers by acting as a divine channel).</blockquote>
