Otherworldly Patron
At 1st level, a warlock gains the Otherworldly Patron
feature. Here is a new option for that feature:
The Unbound Lexicon.
The Unbound Lexicon
Many pacts are based on an exchange of services between
a warlock and their patron, power in return for a favor.
These dealings are often a means to an end, for all parties involved. Your patron is trapped inside of a Lexicon, some ancient sentient creature stirs inside of a spellbook allowing whoever holds it opportunity. Once unbound the book and the creature bind to the very soul of the creature who opened it. One thing that is for certain, the pact is made and desires are made clear, the creature will make you hold it dear.

Lexicon Power
At 1st level, holding such a powerful spellbook with your patron in it allows you an extra pool of power to dip from. You gain 1 Cantrip known, 1 Spells known and 1 spell slot. You also gain one language of your choice that your patron speaks. You are also forced to take pact of the tome and the Lexicon is your book of shadows.
Lexicon Reserve
Starting at 6th level, The Lexicon's wealth of power bleeds into your soul. Once per short rest as a bonus action, you may go into an enlightened state and your next spell has a bonus effects: Damaging spells with no duration deal an extra damage die, duration spells durations are doubled and targets save against your spell at a disadvantage. These effects end on a short rest.
Turn The Pages
Starting at 10th level, you have become more fluent with your Lexicon's language. Unlocking hidden potential inside of the book, each spell above 1st level you cast floods you with energy. You may harness this energy as a bonus action, You gain 2d6 + your warlock level as temporary hit points. You use this ability a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, afterward you regain uses after a long rest. The temporary hit points do not stack with themselves and last until a long rest.
Shut The Cover
Starting at 14th level, you can cast demiplane at will as a ritual spell. When cast this way, you may use it to visit your patron inside of the book or a demiplane you made with the spell. Otherwise, it functions like a demiplane spell except it still can only produce 1 new demiplane each long rest.
When you visit your patron it is neutral to your cause unless you have done great deeds for it (at the dungeon masters discretion).
