Warlocks have always perplexed me. They're the only creature in Myth except the summoner who are mere humans and yet have powerful magic. They are a very secretive society with a checkered past and an odd presence. Here's a couple of tidbits to respond to at will:
1). They have several unused sequences in their tags. Two of them are differnent staff manuvers. One where the lock sorta pokes his staff in a direction, like casting a lighting bolt or something. The other has him slamming his staff to the ground, perhaps in an earthquake like move. The last are the most interesting. The lock apparently was originaly meant to die in a rather bloody fashion, instead of the odd way that he does today, as evidenced by the presence of body parts corresponding to him.
2). This brings us to the subject of his death. First off, why does he sort of dissolve, seceond, what are those little thing that fly into the air? If we look at other creatures, the only thing that mimmicks this is the Stygian Knights and the Fetch. In both of these cases these are things being released from the host, in the SK's case it's the part of the soul binding it and in the Fetch's case it actually _is_ the soul. Therefor, following this pattern, what is being released?
Perhaps it is the magic the Warlock is channeling that tears him apart and breaks free when he loses too much control. If this is true, then why does it acsend towards the skies. Pehaps the warlocks do indeed tap into the One Dream and this is Wyrd reclaiming his essence? Another possible explanation is that the anecdotes about Locks giving up their souls to dark powers in order to use magic have some truth in them. It would seem plausible that those said powers are taking back what is theirs when we see the bodies of the Warlocks torn asuder and their souls or essence fly into the heavens… What do y'all think?
