Hello!
The new Xanathars guide to everything book is full of new stuff. This includes new warlock invocations.

I have a few questions for the Improved Pact Weapon invocation. It has the following traits:

-you can now summon a variety of ranged weapons (I don’t remember all of them, but that’s not the important part)
-you can use your pact weapon as your spell casting focus*
-your weapon becomes a +1 weapon* unless it is a magic item with a +# trait already**

Here are my questions:
* if you use your weapon as your spell casting focus, does this give you a +1 as well?
** if it’s a magic item without a +# trait, does it become +1?

Thank you in advanced for your help!

If you mean +1 to spell DC and spell attack rolls, no it does not.

Yes, it does. You can with this feature [and with the Kensei feature] have a +1 flame tongue or the like.

What about to spell damage?

No. It's just attack and damage rolls with the weapon. It says nothing about a bonus to spells cast using the weapon. That's a separate thing.
