Pact Scholar

As a wizard you are dedicated to the arcane arts and your own studies into the wonderful world of magic. You have a deep relation to the Weave and seek to understand it as all wizards do. Knowledge and dedication are pillars of your own mentality and that of your fellow wizards. However, you have studied and applied yourself time and time again, only to come to the conclution that there are other, less academic, ways of learning about the arcane arts.

As a Pact Scholar you seek to uncovered and learn of the pacts of the past and study the ways of the Warlock. Although you yourself lack a pact of your own, you seek to understand and perhaps enter one at some point. But you will do so on your own terms. Your reasons may be noble, or entierly selfish. Be it for furthering your own knowledge or aiding others dear to you, you seek power, and you know power comes at a cost. This is why you intend to learn as much as you can about Warlocks and about Pact Magic, after all; knowledge is power and you intend to gain both at your own behest.      

Your studies into pact magic has allowed you to gain some of the abilities and magical powers akin to that of the warlock. You understand the fundamental differences between arcane magic and pact magic and seek to bridge them in order to increase your own power and perchance make a pact of your own. Or maybe the knowledge you gain as you learn and grow stronger is enough for you?
Who am I to judge how you gain power...
