So, based on THIS THREAD (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?512753-Invocation-only-Warlock), it was requested that someone try building a Warlock class which focused on Invocations, and removed the spell casting ability.
This is... kinda(?) that Warlock. The current Warlock class is a huge mess; there are no real class features beyond choosing your Patron and your Pact, then choosing Spells, and then choosing Invocations. Lots of choice, but no straightforward "you get this at Level3, and this at Level14," and the trouble is that in spite of all those choices, there are quite a few which are basically mandatory for anyone who wants to create a workable Warlock. The intent of this homebrew is to make a little more sense of the Warlock and make it more similar to the other classes while, at the same time, largely removing the Pact Magic as requested. So here we go:
Cantrips and Invocations by Level

You can also cast a warlock spell you know as a ritual if it has the ritual tag.

When you find such a spell, you can add it to the book if the spell's level is equal to or less than half your warlock level (rounded up) and if you can spare the time to transcribe the spell. For each level of the spell, the transcription process takes hours and costs 50gp for the rare inks needed to inscribe it.
If you lose your Book of Secrets, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous book (including any additional rituals you had copied into it). Your Book of Secrets turns to ash when you die.
