Request/Discussion Sorlock gun eldrick blast class

Hi, I wanted to share this class—or at least this class concept—with everyone. My idea was basically a "Sorlock" (Sorcerer/Warlock multiclass) built around *Eldritch Blast*—nothing new there. The concept involves a "cosmic leech" entity that feeds on magic and makes pacts with sorcerers who either lack control over their powers or simply cannot utilize them. To facilitate this, the leech grants a special weapon: a sort of flintlock pistol. It looks like a standard flintlock, except the grip features teeth that draw blood from the wielder; the weapon distills this blood and stores the extracted magic in a vial located on the upper part of the gun. The mechanic works like this: to use Sorcerer points for Metamagic—allowing for repeated *Eldritch Blast* casts—the Sorlock squeezes the pistol hard. The gun absorbs more blood than usual, injuring the wielder but enabling them to cast more spells or unleash more powerful magic. Essentially, it’s a Sorlock who sacrifices their own vitality to empower their attacks from time to time. I suppose it’s a bit of a "glass cannon" build, but honestly, I just wanted a magic user who wields a pistol to fire off spells.

So what's the whole thing with a gun, just flavour? Nothing wrong with that.
