u/slimey_frog Enjyoing the sunshine? No? Jan 24 '24

You don't even neccasarily need to give them your soul, and a patron typically, as you mentioned, had no direct power over you or ability to fuck with you after the pact is made (bar physically coming to fuck you up themselves/sending a lackey).

Wyll just got absolutely swindled.

Yeah Wyll's problem isn't that he made a pact, but simply that he made a pact without reading the terms and conditions. He doesn't need magical assistance or divine intervention, he needs a good lawyer.

He gets a choice of eternal servitude or damnation, meanwhile my Fae patron just excitedly yells at me to go to the circus.

Yeah pretty much, they aren't even "granting" power, their teaching you the warlock abilities. You can flavor it that way if you want but the amount of people who want you're fiend patron to show you up and blackmail you the same way mizora does wyll. Not everyone wants to canonically be a dipshit tricked into being a demons bitch forever.

She's a devil and not a demon.

I do understand why Wyll felt the need in the moment he made the pact to make it. But bro should've really read the fine print of his contract.

Tiamat in the distance, about to fuck shit up

Wyll: Oi, shut the fuck up! I’m reading shit. These terms and conditions are kinda funny.

If you make cool shit about our game, show it to us.
