As your connection with your patron grows stronger, you are shaped—and reshaped—by eldritch power. With eldritch invocations, you can master unique spells and new, passive abilities.

Choose Invocations

When you gain certain warlock levels, you are rewarded with eldritch invocations of your choice—as shown in the Invocations Known column of the Class Features (Warlock) table.

Creating an Invocation

If you need to create a custom invocation—for example, to better suit a specific character trait, story arc, or otherworldly patron—consider the following guidelines:

Min. Level	Guidelines
2nd	Cast a 1st-level spell at will (as a 1st-level spell), without expending a spell slot or material components. Gain proficiency in two skills. Gain a unique, character-changing passive feature.
5th	Cast a 3rd-level spell once per long rest without expending a spell slot or material components.
7th	Cast a 2nd-level spell at will (as a 2nd-level spell), without expending a spell slot or material components. Cast a 4th-level spell once per long rest without expending a spell slot or material components.
9th	Cast a 3rd-level spell at will (as a 3rd-level spell), without expending a spell slot or material components. Cast a 5th-level spell once per long rest without expending a spell slot or material components.
