But usually cost for such split comes in lack of focus in magic and so they tend specialize and not have so extensive magical lore in their disposal. Also some warlocks wear heavier armor and wear arms as well, also there are witch knights, those who blend arts of knight and sorcery together.<br/><br/>But what it sounds this man and the priestess wield magic and the wizard which we knocked out in the battle. So any those three could had branded you either by spell or by using a artifact from ruins. As I imagine slave branding purposes there may be item with some limited charges and such. Considering they planned sell you they must have markets for slaves, a contact of sort. Also it gives hopes there must be method how ownership with brand can be transferred as no slave buyer wants buy a slave which aren't loyal to them, more so magically bound to another person.<br/><br/>But it sounds there is indeed bigger and more organized group of bandits operating in the area. So locals may know more about them."
