So, what do warlocks need to prepare spells for? In this article, we’ll go over Cantrips, Utility spells, and Expanded spell list. In addition, we’ll discuss Pact magic and Expanded spell list. You’ll be able to decide if you need to focus on one or several spells. But which ones do you need? The answer will surprise you!

Cantrips

While most classes have limited spell slots, Warlocks can make the most of them by learning Eldritch Invocations and Cantrips. At first level, warlocks can only know two Cantrips. Moreover, once they select them, they cannot swap them later. So, what should warlocks do? Read on to find out. Listed below are the spells that warlocks can learn at first level.

Besides, the Warlock’s knowledge of spells is already limited. A major power boost would come when double that knowledge. The warlock’s bonus cantrips (as well as the Celestial Pact) would give him a great boost until he reaches higher levels. Furthermore, adding two more spells he knows at first, third, and fifth levels would make a warlock overpowered.

Utility spells

A warlock should be prepared with several useful spells that they can use on a regular basis. For instance, one of the best spells for a warlock is the ability to “hex” a creature and deal an additional 1d6 necrotic damage to it. This ability is similar to a hunter’s mark, and it can be used on any type of attack. However, this spell requires several VSM components that may be difficult to manage for those without the War Caster feat.

In addition to spells, warlocks need to learn the Arcane and History skills. These skills are important for any warlock because they are both useful in combat, and they are also situational. Warlocks should also take Deception and History as they are situational skills that they will use in any part of the party. However, they do not need to learn the Art of War or Animal Handling, which are useful but useless.

Pact magic

There are a number of different ways to make your Warlock spellcasting more powerful, and one of them is to forge a pact with a Fiend. Fiends are powerful creatures from the lower planes. They desire the destruction of all things, but they also have many uses in the Warlock’s arsenal. By preparing spells for Pact magic, Warlocks can expand their arsenal and increase their effectiveness in the battle field.

One of the main ways to use Pact magic is to transform a sentient weapon into a pact weapon. This involves a Special ritual that takes an hour, but it is worth it because the weapon will receive an Extra Attack bonus at level five. This ability will also enable the Warlock to perform double attacks with any weapon. However, it is important to keep in mind that the invocation choice is not permanent.

Expanded spell list

Warlocks have several types of expanded spells. Some are learned, while others can only be prepared. Warlocks begin with a limited list of spells. Their pacts with Fiends grant them certain features at 1st, 6th, 10th, and 14th levels. Warlocks can also use invocations. They have two pact spells, Armor of Shadows and Dreadful Word, and can learn additional spells at higher levels.

The expanded spell list is not a set list like the cleric domain. Instead, a patron grants access to a list of spells that would not normally be on a warlock spell list. This spell list is available to warlocks as long as they are in the Patron’s domain. In addition to these spells, warlocks can use the patron’s power to grant their students magical abilities.

Hexblade

Hexblade is a powerful magical weapon that can add extra damage to your attacks. This weapon can also enslave humanoids. Hexblade spells can be cast as bonus actions, which can help you in combat. These spells can also frighten your target. The lower levels of this class may benefit from knowing how to cast this weapon. The higher levels may consider trading up to the Hexblade to gain additional power.

Warlocks are given patrons and subclasses based on their patron. Warlocks who choose Hexblade as their patron have additional combat abilities and a more deadly weapon. These spells all use Charisma. Warlocks of the Fey subclass will work with trickery and the art of surprise. As a result, their spells are incredibly powerful.
