Is there fantasy that isn't like this
The basic options for magic are:
Pretty much every fantasy has the magical aristocracy but the latter two are available to regular people in a lot of fantasies too, though wizardry is often gatekept and magical pacts tend to be for villains only.
I love comparing becoming a warlock to becoming a stripper
Especially since it doesn't have to be a devil per se, just any entity that's more powerful than you and willing to share.
