Actually, the Warlock is a bit like the Can(n)on from Antoine Fourrière's Jacks and Witches 84 or Bilateral Chess, which in turn was inspired by the Rotating Spearman from John William Brown's Centennial Chess. Admittedly the details are different, but the idea of a piece that can move or transform is not particularly new. (There are also games where the Pawn promotes as an entire move, instead of moving and then promoting as part of the same move -- this has some similarity.)
