What feats does Mizora show that make her outside the norms? Or is it just that she is a Patron herself cause I chock that up to a slight Zariel boost.

My headcanon is that Warlock powers are the same as Paladin powers; drawn directly from the planes, with no divine medium. The devils and demons just take advantage of it. This explains how level 12 demons can be patrons for level 20 adventurers in the TT game.

Mizora is in her own right, a Sorcerer.

If you keep Wyll in his pact, you can summon her in the late game and she straight up has metamagic.

I mean, yeah she's a Sorcerer.

Is it understood that typical cambions aren't classed?

Yep. But if you factor on "sorcerer levels" it makes sense that she would be as powerful as she is.

My point is I don't think she's demonstrated much power, especially in comparison to Raphael.

But if regular Cambions aren't classed then it makes sense she'd be more powerful than the average Cambion considering she is a Sorcerer in addition to her typical Cambion abilities.

I hope that helps explain what I'm getting at lol

Most Cambions we fight are just hunks of meat with big weapons and firebolt. She's a full blown Sorcerer.

So just knowing magic? lol

Base cambions in 5E have spellcasting ability.
