What is the difference between a wizard, sorcerer, and a warlock?
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Keaton

A wizard practices white magic.  Warlocks practice dark magic.  A sorcerer is a conjurer.

Hi no Seijin

Well, that's one way to define them.  For my writing, a sorcerer/sorceress is a spellcaster born with the ability to use magic; a wizard/witch is a spellcaster who becomes able to use magic later in his/her life; a warlock is a any spellcaster in an army trained to use magic in battle.  I just thought that maybe warlock would be the term for males, and females would have their own term.  Warlockess, maybe?  I dunno.

Witch is the female form of warlock, traditionally.

Female wizards were also called wizards.

Warlocktress sounds good, in my opinion, but at the same time, it also seems like a bit of a word stretch.

You don't have to click here to be made to post; you merely have to look at it and see that the most recent post isn't yours. ;)

I, too, have lost the game.

Hi no Seijin

Y'all need to stop making me lose the game.
