You are describing Cleric ...

I allways thought that Paladins draw their power from themselves ... like a Sorcerer ... but there isnt nearly as much of it, and they only can reach it as long as they believe they can reach it ... therefore there is Oath.
After all, if they break it, they can still reach Magical Powers ... just different one. laugh

Shouldnt they loose all magical power completely, if it would be provided by some deity?

Well no, a Paladin does not draw power at all. A paladin merely adheres to the will of his deity and is granted aid and powers. Seeking power and control over divine magic is probably fundamentally antithetical to being a paladin.
Honestly, the very concept of the Oathbreaker makes no sense to me laugh Honestly the old and much maligned Blackguard makes a lot more sense.
