Okay so the idea starts with a normal opossum, nothing weird or fancy about him. He's just a normal opossum, but he's a warlock. Some magical being of some sort (maybe a fae) looked at a random opossum and went "that Lil guys chill, let's give him MAGIC" the proceeded to become the opossums warlock patron. Now this is just a normal opossum, he does not comprehend the concept of magic or the fact that he can now do magic. So he's just going around accidentally casting spells everywhere he goes. Then imagine the patron decides to give him a Lil hat and robe to complete the look (also because its cute). Being a wild animal though the Lil guy HATES it and trys to get the clothing off, similar to how a dog and cat might try to get stuff off. Every time he gets it off though his patron just materializes a new set on him. This struggle accounts for 70% of the accidental magic going on.
With that concept, imagine the party coming to a town seemingly being attacked by an evil magic user, and are asked to please solve the problem. So they go looking for what they think is going to be an evil wizard of some sort only to find a opossum that's had magic and clothes thrust on it by some chaotic magical being. Some ways this could pan out:
They kill the opossum solving the towns problem
They try to contain the opossums magic ability
They try to reason with the patron (first they would have to find them) to leave the opossum alone
Try to convince the patron to stop putting clothes on the opossum (being the source of most of the accidental magic as he trys to remove them)
Try to talk with the opossum in hopes to calm him down
Bestow sapience to the opossum giving him the ability to comprehend his situation, but also the potential to see the horrors of reality (pictured above)
keep opossum as pet etc
Also if the party keeps the opossum as a pet, imagine one of them who knows the hand motions needed for spells (assuming they don't have spoken components) and rolling animal handling to wiggle to opossums arms around in the motions to cast spells. Opossums have thumbs so all the hand motions should be possible lmao.
