In my current setting the metaphysics of warlocks is that they're permanently altered and imbued with power. So that cannot really be taken away. Divine casters however explicitly are intermediaries, they channel the power of gods and spirits, and theoretically the source can shut down this this power at any moment if they so choose. However, this is not some old school gotcha game, these divinities are nebulous and distant and unlikely to actually do this. The player chooses at the character creation what sort of priest they want to play, and as long as they roughly stick to that in good faith, their powers will work just fine. And were they somehow significantly straying, the god would probably first send them visions/omens etc. In practice I can really imagine an actual power shut down coming up only in a player initiated storyline for justifying changing the character's patron deity.</p></blockquote><p></p>
