Reading all of the post on warlock/wizard.. I am pulling out my 
hair.. agh!!!   I know that we are all Harry Potter fans here and 
not students of real Witchcraft/ Wizardry... but if you pick up any 
book on the subject it will tell you that:

There are different categories of magic practitioners.  The sorcerer 
is the lowest and most likely to use dark magic.  A warlock and 
witch are the same thing.. different sex.  A wizard is a wise man or 
wise woman, and the very highest level.  The term Wizard is the same 
as a magus .. plural magi.. as in the Magi who followed the star to 
the Christ child.  

There are 2 types of magic..  folk magic and high magic.  Sorcerers, 
witches and warlocks use the lower form.. folk magic.  A wizard can 
use fork magic too.  But, ONLY a Wizard uses High Magic.

I'd say some folks..,, no names 
 have fallen asleep in their 
History of Magic class!!!

So when DD is a sorcerer, a warlock, and a wizard.. it is like 
saying he has a BA, MA, and PHD.  What I what to know is what is a 
Mugwamp?
