warlocks
Dark magic practitioners
Warlocks are male practitioners of magic or witchcraft, typically portrayed as sinister figures who have made pacts with dark powers.
The term appears most often in fantasy fiction and folklore, where warlocks contrast with wizards or sorcerers: The warlock summoned demons to do his bidding.
In some traditions, warlock specifically denotes a male witch or one who has betrayed the craft.
