I was playing around with some warlock stuff and decided to expand the capabilities of a Tome Warlock and what they can do with their Book of Shadows. I wanted to know if these three invocations complemented the Book of Ancient Secrets invocation and the Pact of the Tome warlock feature:
ARS ARCANUM
Prerequisite: 18th level, Pact of the Tome feature
You learn the secret of inscribing powerful spells into your Book of Shadows. Choose four spells from any class's spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. The spells needn't be from the same spell list. The spells appear in the book and don't count against the number of spells you know. With your Book of Shadows in hand, you can use your Mystic Arcanum to cast the chosen spells.
PATRON MAGIC
Prerequisite: Pact of the Tome feature
You learn the secret of inscribing your patron's spells into your Book of Shadows. The spells from your patron's Expanded Spell List feature appear in your book, so long as they are of a level you can cast using your Pact Magic feature. These spells don't count against the number of spells you know. With your Book of Shadows in hand, you can use your Pact Magic to cast the chosen spells.
In addition, you may use your Book of Shadows as an arcane focus for casting warlock spells.
SECRET PAGE
Prerequisite: Pact of the Tome feature
You learn the secret of binding magic scrolls to your Book of Shadows. You can read and use any spell scroll, regardless of whether or not the spell is on your list of class spells. You can use an action to hide a spell scroll in your Book of Shadows. This causes the scroll to seamlessly blend in with the rest of the pages in your book, and you can always flip to the correct page simply by concentrating on the spell scroll you wish to use. With your Book of Shadows in hand, you can use an action to activate the spell scroll, as normal.
In addition, using the same ceremony you use to create a new Book of Shadows, you may choose to instead change the appearance of the book to that of any other nonmagical book or tome you have previously read. Your Book of Shadows appears to be a normal copy of whatever book or tome you disguise it as. However, you can choose to see through this illusion in order to gain the benefits of your Book of Shadows.
