Warlocks are supposed to be elementalists, yet they do not completely cover all the elements properly IMO. Fire Water and earth are all there, but air just really is not. Air blast, a single target spell that does a fixed amount of damage and has a chance to leave the victim prone for 2 combat rounds. As it stands the only things a warlock can do with air is conjure an air elemental, and control weather to make it windy.

What about
Thunder, causes sonic damage and can cause deafness. Make the damage low but the chance of deafen moderate OR the damage moderate and the chance of deafen low.


Blast sounds more of a moving spell, coordinate it with weather with the size of the opponent. For example is weather is very windy, cast blast griffon east. I know it is similar to another cabal skill but that targets everyone this one targets one.

Warlocks don't need abilities that cause status ailments.

They already have one spell that lowers a particular thing.

^^ Most circumspect post ever. Please elaborate on the 'particular thing'. Thanks.

The best spell ever for a warlock would be one that allows them to alter the damage type of a targeted weapon or the natural attack(s) of the targeted in-group creature with concentration and costs similar to animate dead.

It would be neat if all the damage types became available to the warlock in stages associated with level, beginning with the classical elements and extending out into the weird stuff.

If I understand it correctly, warlocks had a much more complete grasp on damage types back before many damage types were added. They did not get anything to keep their portfolios as proportionally diverse.

This would be fun and free up a lot of the ridiculousness associated with hording and commissioning specific weapons.

Shocking grasp lowers reflex.

Air attack idea:

A spell to use the force of wind to force your opponents to land. Save for prone. Minimal damage.

And only usable on Galdor in air sectors.

Anything to cause Galdor to land over cities/in mid air is useless to a warlock. He's likely to get it done on his own much more frequently than you could find him in those areas.
