**[[Book of Ancient Secrets]] grants three specific spells ({{SAI|Ray of Sickness}}, {{SAI|Chromatic Orb}}, and {{SAI|Silence}}, of which only Silence is normally a ritual spell) that can be cast once per long rest without using a spell slot.

**[[Repelling Blast]] pushes the target back 15 ft instead of 10 ft.that can be cast once per long rest without using a spell slot. This invocation does not require having taken Pact of the Tome as it does in 5e.
**Various 5e invocation options are not available, including all of the level 15 options, those specific to Pact of the Chain, those that involve casting a spell that doesn't exist in this game, and any added in ''Xanathar's Guide to Everything'' and ''Tasha's Cauldron of Everything''.
*[[Deepened Pact]] is a new level 5 feature that improves the benefits of the chosen Pact Boon option without using an invocation. The Blade and Chain options grant an extra attack with the Attack action for the warlock or their familiar respectively. The Tome option allows casting [[Animate Dead]], [[Haste]], and [[Call Lightning]] once each per long rest.
**This is likely meant to take the place of the missing Pact Boon-specific invocations.
