[@ActRaiserTheReturned] Sorry if I derailed anything.  Wasn't meaning to discourage your creativity.  Regardless of the implications, we always need a magic user in the group.

Here's an idea for a magic user. This warlock is old and dying. By the end of the quest he will finally pass on to the after life of his religion. He cannot pass on unless he goes on this adventure to take down the big evil bad. His magic is not ordinarily the fire ball toting, lightning bolt conjuring classification, but he does have magic offensively, usually perhaps making use of animals, curses, and maybe even telekinesis.
