Actually, yeah! The High Geologist would probably make for a way better warlock patron NPC. Since patrons don’t necessarily have to be divine cosmic entities HG could totally be a crazy strong wizard/ druid. Bonus points for stupid easy plot hooks (go fetch me the heart of a mountain, dragonfire obsidian, etc) quest rewards (just imbue high level spells into rocks/ crystals (ie fireball in a fire quartz, stinking cloud in sulphur, etc.) as a surprise tool to help us later for the party), and conflicts (how do other wizardly geologist feel about warlocks?).
A warlock dwarf trying to channel the arcane power of the earth sounds like a super compelling springboard for a character.
some kind of dwarven warlock or druid/cleric seems like a fit… surprised this isn’t already a thing tbh

yeah this should be a class of it’s own, geomancer or something
