Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list, as well as eldritch blast, which counts as a warlock cantrip for you but does not count against your warlock cantrips known. You learn additional warlock cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Warlock table.

Spell Points

Your ability to cast spells is represented by a pool of spell points, whose number is determined by your warlock level, as shown in the Warlock table.

You expend a number of spell points to create a spell slot of a given level, as shown in the table below, and then use that slot to cast a spell. The maximum slot level you can create for your level is shown on the Warlock table.

Pact of the Blade

Alternate 3rd-level warlock pact boon

You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this weapon takes each time you create it. You are proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. When you make a weapon attack with your pact weapon, you can substitute your spellcasting ability modifier for the attack and damage rolls, instead of Strength or Dexterity.

Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the

weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest.

You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.
