Cantrips
You know 2 cantrips of your choice from the Warlock Spell List. You learn additional Cantrips of your choice upon reaching 4th and 8th Levels of Warlock.
Spell Slots
The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your warlock spells of 1st through 5th level, having a single Spell Slot at 1st Level, and gaining additional ones at 2nd and 8th Level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level, beginning at 1st Level and increasing a Level every time you reach an odd Level of the Warlock Class. To cast one of your Warlock Spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a Short or Long Rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell witch bolt, you must spend one of your Spell Slots, and so you upcast it as a 3rd-level spell
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list. The Spells Known column of the Warlock table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st level or higher.

You can add another Spell to the Warlock Spell List every time you gain a Level in this Class, and you also can choose up to three of the warlock spells you know and replace it with other spells from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots
Spellcasting Ability
This class allows you to create your own character with variations to you ability, whether you made the pact with your words or through a smart offer is up to you. Either Charisma or Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, so you use either whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. However you must make the decision upon taking your first Level in this Class. You can then use one of these modifiers when setting the Save DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. This will be use for all the other abilities you have in this Class.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma or Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma or Intelligence modifier

In your study of the barely understood powers of your patron you unlock small fragments of their powers at your whim. At 2nd Level you gain two of these from the list above and additional ones based on your Warlock Level, at 5th, 8th, and 10th Levels.

Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to use its reaction to make one attack with its Reaction. This familiar’s attacks are Melee Attacks with the same Spell Attack Bonus and Damage Roll as your Eldritch Blast Feature
Your Familiar gains additional bonuses over the ones normally gained from the Find Familiar Spell. It gains additional HP equal to 2* your Warlock Level and additional AC equal to 1/2 your Warlock Level
Pact of the Tome
Your patron gives you a grimoire called a Tome of Spells which can serve as a Spellcasting Focus for you. When you gain this feature, choose three cantrips from any class's spell list (the three needn't be from the same list). While the Tome is on your person, you can cast those cantrips at will and they don't count against your number of cantrips known. If they don't appear on the warlock spell list, they are nonetheless warlock spells for you. You gain an additional Cantrip to this Tome at 6th, and 9th Levels

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Celestial Patron - Your patron is a powerful being of the Upper Planes. You have bound yourself to an ancient solar, divine champion, or unicorn or to another entity that resides in the planes of everlasting bliss. Your pact with that being allows you to experience the barest touch of the holy light that illuminates the multiverse. Being connected to such power can cause changes in your behavior and beliefs. You might find yourself driven to annihilate the undead, to defeat fiends, and to protect the innocent. At times, your heart might also be filled with a longing for the celestial realm of your patron, a desire to wander that paradise for the rest of your days. But you know that your mission is among mortals for now and that your pact binds you to bring light to the dark places of the world.

Fathomless Patron - You have plunged into a pact with the deeps. An entity of the ocean, the Elemental Plane of Water, or another otherworldly sea now allows you to draw on its thalassic power. Perhaps you were born into a generational cult that venerates the Fathomless and its spawn. Or you might have been shipwrecked and on the brink of drowning when your patron's grasp offered you a chance at life. Whatever the reason for your pact, the sea and its unknown depths call to you.

Such entities rule vast fiefs on the Elemental Planes and have great influence over lesser genies and elemental creatures. Noble genies are varied in their motivations, but most are arrogant and wield power that rivals that of lesser deities. They delight in turning the table on mortals, who often bind genies into servitude, and readily enter into pacts that expand their reach.

Once you enter the vessel, you can't enter again until you finish a Long Rest.
Genie’s Control: When you target a Creature with a Spell that requires a Save but doesn’t deal Damage you can utilize this ability to increase the DC of your Spell by +2 as a part of casting that Spell. You can do this a number of times per day equal to your Proficiency Bonus.

In addition, anyone (including you) who remains within the vessel for at least 10 minutes gains the benefit of finishing a Short Rest, and anyone can add your Proficiency Bonus to the total HP they regain every time they utilize a Hit Die as a part of this Short Rest.
Great Old One Patron - Your patron is a mysterious entity whose nature is utterly foreign to the fabric of reality. It might come from the Far Realm, the space beyond reality, or it could be one of the elder gods known only in legends. Its motives are incomprehensible to mortals, and its knowledge so immense and ancient that even the greatest libraries pale in comparison to the vast secrets it holds.

Great Old One Improvement: Entropic Ward
You learn to magically ward yourself against attack. When a creature makes an Attack Roll against you, you can use your Reaction to impose Disadvantage on that roll.

Great Old One Advancement: Thought Shield
Your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have Resistance to Psychic Damage, and whenever a creature deals Psychic Damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that you do.
Hexblade Patron - You have made your pact with a mysterious entity from the Shadowfell – a force that manifests itself as sentient magic weapons carved from the stuff of shadow. The mighty sword Blackrazor is the most notable of these weapons, once wielded by one of Portin's greatest enemies. The shadowy force behind these weapons can offer power to warlocks who form pacts with them. Many hexblade warlocks create weapons that emulate those formed in the Shadowfell.

Watcher Patron - Your patron takes their name after an inscrutable being who travels the Astral Plane in their search of knowledge and secrets. In return for your patron’s gifts, you wander the world seeking lore that you can share with the Watcher. Your patron could be any deity or other powerful entity dedicated to knowledge or forgotten lore. There are those powerful Divines that seek knowledge, while some Spellcasters (such as the most powerful Wizards) have unlocked the ability to share some of their powers, and some lucky people have found connection to a powerful being wandering the outer realms. This is also the most common type of Warlock in Til as they can occasionally be granted this boon by a government rather than an ethereal patron, seeking enemies of the state instead of knowledge, and utilize the state’s collection of wizards to give out power in this manner
