The class toolkit
Named progression abilities are part of the class pool. Level gates are not extra ability slots. Selected-path, resource, and activation requirements still apply.
| Level | Ability | In practice |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | First Invocation | Adopt a passive invocation permitted by the Warlock's pact. |
| 4 | Pact Casting | Cast an eligible pact spell by committing a recharging Pact Slot. |
| 5 | Patron's Accord | Choose the patron specialization and express its permitted magic. |
| 6 | Deep Pact | Cast an advanced spell permitted by the established pact. |
| 8 | Pact Boon | Take the available Blade, Chain or Tome boon. |
| 9 | Invocation Mastery | Deepen command of the invocations already permitted by the pact. |
| 10 | Patron Embodiment | Take on the ultimate form of the chosen patron's power. |
In the story and on the track
Warlocks receive power through patron pacts. Their paths focus on defense, healing, or shadow attacks. Invocations add persistent effects. A Warlock carries the atmosphere of a relationship beyond the immediate fight. Chrome Sun followers favor a dragon patron's defensive bearing, Sunlit Path followers bring a celestial promise of healing, and Luminous Void followers wrap their presence in shadow. Players build pact imagery into their dress, invocations, and manner. Favor gives those performances a sharper edge: the patron relationship is part of how the character's power is expressed, not merely a story told between matches.
Resource rhythm
Pact Slots pay for powerful spells. Patron's Favor tracks the pact relationship. Mana also appears in the class's resource model, and passive Invocations supply persistent effects. Follow the resource requirements of the invocation or spell you use.
Specialization paths
Chrome Sun — defensive dragon patron (Stamina); Sunlit Path — celestial healing patron (Charisma); Luminous Void — shadow/damage Void patron (Dexterity).
How it fits a build
Class and Spec each occupy one of the four core ability slots. Six stat slots complete the ten-ability layout. Class progression abilities are slot-free and level-gated; selecting a path does not automatically grant every alternative path. Costs, targets, timing, and access requirements still apply.
Keep exploring.
