Editing Gladius et Aegis: Arcane Nature Traits (section)

===Benefits of being a '''Warlock'''===

* '''Arcana:''' You can cast magic! Your Pact is is the source of your Arcana. 
* '''Sacrifice:''' A Warlock can offer blood or flesh to his demonic patron in order to be granted a boost of extra power. Blood loss is treated as physical impairment damage, while flesh offering is physical injury. This can be the Warlock's own blood and flesh, or that of a sacrificial victim. The injuries must be inflicted either with the Warlocks own hands, or with tools or weapons used by the Warlock while the Warlock is less than arm's reach away from his target. Note that this damage doesn't happen spontaneously - the Warlock must cause the injury or blood loss directly. For each point of Physical Impairment inflicted, the Warlock gains +1 Puissance for the next single spell he casts, as long as it is within the next few minutes. For Physical Injury inflicted, the +1 Puissance lasts for several minutes, and is cumulative. Note that sacrifice is not required for casting magic: it just makes the magic more potent.
* '''Soul Sacrifice:''' The Warlock can offer his own soul - simply by mentally deciding to do so - in order to immediately and permanently gain +3 Puissance. However, once he has done so, he loses self-volition, and is forever the mind slave of the demon.
