Sorcerer in fight over jam (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

warlock

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sorcerer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fight over jam' is the wordplay.
'fight' becomes 'war' (warring is a kind of fighting).
'over jam' becomes 'lock' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'war'+'lock'='WARLOCK'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for warlock that I've seen before include "Male magician - British composer, 1894-1930 - low rack (anag)" , "Charmer" , "Cork law about male witch" , "Necromancer" , "Sorcerer" .)
