Pacts are contracts.

You sign a contract, you uphold your end of the bargain.

You break the contract by NOT doing so, you break the contract, you lose your powers.

For example:

ALEX is a level 1 Warlock and is PACT OF THE TOME. He forges a PACT (signs a contract to put it simply) with his PATRON, BOB

His PATRON tells him "Hey spread the word about me kthx."

ALEX does so initially and as such has Warlock powers. As he grows stronger, he suddenly goes "Nah, I'll stop spreading the word about BOB".

BOB realizes this and considers it a breach of contract. You break the contract, you lose your Warlock powers.

That's how Warlocks works. Fjord's patron considered Fjord to break his pact (not uphold his end of the contract), thus Fjord losing his powers.

Clerics and Paladins needs their God/Goddess favor as they're literally just channeling their powers to do their bidding.
