Invocations: The Arcanist
At 2nd level, a warlock gains the Eldritch Invocations feature. Here are new options for that feature, in addition to the options in the Player's Handbook, that are designed for the Arcanist patron.
If an eldritch invocation has a prerequisite, you must meet it to learn the invocation. You can learn the invocation at the same time you meet its prerequisite. A level prerequisite refers to
your level in this class.
Your quest for knowledge allows you to master any language. When you complete a long rest, you can pick three languages. You gain the ability to speak, read, and write the chosen languages until you finish your next long rest.
When you use your Spell Surge feature, you can make a single weapon attack as a bonus action. This attack has advantage, and on a hit, you deal additional force damage equal to your Charisma modifier + half your warlock level.
The gold required to copy a ritual spell on the wizard spell list into your Book of Shadows is halved. Additionally, casting a spell from your Book of Shadows that's on the wizard spell list as a ritual spell only takes you an additional minute, rather ten minutes. You also don't require material components for ritual spells you cast from your Book of Shadows. Finally, you can cast any ritual spell inscribed in your Book of Shadows without expending a spell slot. Once you do so, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
You don't need access to a class' spell list to make use of spell scrolls, and use Charisma as your spellcasting ability for any spell you cast for a scroll, regardless of the class the spell is from.
Your bond with your familiar strengthens. You and your familiar can take the Search action as a bonus action. You can see through your familiar's senses at any time (no action required), and while doing so, you aren't deaf and blind to your own senses. Additionally, both you and your familiar can add half your proficiency bonus to any Intelligence (Arcana, History, Investigation, Nature, or Religion) checks that don't already include your proficiency bonus.
You can cast clairvoyance without expending a spell slot, and you don't require material components for the spell when you cast it this way. You can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
