Warlock Patron

The Lwa Spirit

Your patron is a spirit, an entity previously alive on the
material plane of existence but which has now transcended to
where the dead people rest. This entity has granted you
powers many would consider unorthodox. Wielders of this
power are often referred to as witch doctors and are often
feared and despised due to their unnatural powers. Dark arts
and blood magic are often associated with you. Although
some may think Witch Doctors only do harm, it's not true.
Witch Doctors are often healers in small tribes or parties of
adventurers. They're more often than not good with medicine
and removing curses.
