What is the difference between a wizard, sorcerer and a warlock?

Answer 1

Sorcerers have the gift of magic naturally, and their training tends to be more about controlling it. Wizards are a bit lower on the chain, as they have to study to access magic, and there magic tends to need a verbal command, like a spell, etc. However, their studying usually makes them wiser and more educated. Warlocks are sometimes considered male witches, while others say they are evil witches.
Wizards are often seen as the helpful type, Warlocks as bad guys, and Sorcerers going either way or nuetral. This is all open to individual interpretation.

Answer 2

A wizard is a person with magical powers, exceptional or extraordinary abilities, or a high standing within an organization.

In religion, mythology, and fiction, a sorcerer (sometimes sorceress for female) is a person able to use magical powers, called sorcery. A synonym is the warlock, a term for a male witch.

Warlocks are, among historic Christian traditions, said to be the male equivalent of witches (usually in the pejorative sense of Europe's Middle Ages), and were said to ride pitchforks instead of broomsticks. In traditional Scottish witchcraft, "warlock" was and is simply the term used for a wizard, or male witch.[1] A synonym is sorcerer[2].

In a Wiccan context, the word was originally used, maybe coined, by Gerald Gardner as a verb meaning "to bind", as with cords during an initiation ceremony, or prior to a ritual scourging[3]but modern Wiccans now appear to use the word in a pejorative sense, considering it to be a derogatory term for "oath-breaker".[4]

In some pop culture TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Bewitched warlocks are simply male witches; in the TV show Charmed a warlock is an evil witch, a "traitor to an oath" who steals other witches' powers, while any good witch, male or female, is a "witch".
