As a standard action, you can make a single melee attack. If you hit, the target is affected as if struck by your arcane blast (including any arcane essence applied to the blast).

Using this arcane essence does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

This arcane essence invocation allows you to change your arcane blast into a frightful blast. Any creature struck by a frightful blast must succeed on a Will save or become shaken for 1 minute.

Creatures with immunity to mind-affecting spells and abilities or fear effects cannot be shaken by a frightful blast.

Shattering Note

Spoiler

Show

Least; 2nd
You sing or whistle a single keening note, affecting an object or area as if by a shatter spell.

This is a sonic effect.

Smoky Breath

Spoiler

Show

Least; 1st
A cloud of smoke spreads in a 20-foot radius around you when you use this invocation, as the spell fog cloud. The smoke does not block line of sight, but all creatures in the fog have concealment. A moderate wind or any fire larger than a torch immediately disperses the smoke. The smoke disperses on its own after 1 minute.

Spiderstep

LESSER

Spoiler

Show

Blast Shape:
arcane Chain

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows you to improve your arcane blast by turning it into an arc of energy that “jumps” from the first target to others. An arcane chain can jump to one or more secondary targets within 30 feet of the first target, allowing you to make additional ranged touch attacks and deal damage to the secondary targets if you hit.

You can “jump” the chain to one secondary target per five caster levels, so you can strike two additional targets at 10th level, three additional targets at 15th level, and four additional targets at 20th level. Each new target must be within 30 feet of the previous one, and you can’t target the same creature more than once with the arcane chain. If you miss any target in the chain, the arcane chain attack ends there. Each target struck after the first takes half the damage dealt to the first target. This reduction in damage to secondary targets applies to any effect that increases the damage of your arcane blast (such as caustic blast). You must make a separate spell penetration check for each target, if applicable.

Arcane Essence:
Arctic Blast

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th; Arcane Essence
This arcane essence invocation allows you to change your arcane blast into an arctic blast. An arctic blast deals cold damage. Any creature struck by the attack must make a Fortitude save or take a –4 penalty to Dexterity for 10 minutes. The Dexterity penalties from multiple arctic blasts do not stack.

Baneful Blast

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 3rd; Arcane Essence
You transform your arcane blast into a baneful blast. This blast deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against creatures of a specific type. You must select the creature type when you first gain this invocation, and you can't later change your mind (though you can take this invocation more than once, choosing a new creature type each time). You choose your creature type from the categories offered for a ranger's favored enemy (PH 47), including a subtype if you choose humanoid or outsider.

Blinding Blast

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th; Arcane Essence
This arcane essence invocation allows you to change your arcane blast into a blinding blast. Any living creature struck by a blinding blast must succeed on a Fortitude save or be blinded for 1 round.

Caustic Blast

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th; Arcane Essence
This arcane essence invocation allows you to change your arcane blast into a caustic blast. A caustic blast deals acid damage, and it is formed from conjured acid, making it different from other arcane essences because it ignores spell resistance.

Searing Blast

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 3rd; Arcane Essence
This arcane essence invocation allows you to change your arcane blast into a searing blast. A searing blast deals fire damage. Any creature struck by a searing blast must succeed on a Reflex save or catch on fire, taking 2d6 points of fire damage per round until it takes a full-round action to extinguish the flames or the duration expires. The fire damage persists for 1 round per five class levels you have. For example, a 15th-level warlock deals 2d6 points of fire damage for 3 rounds after the initial brimstone blast attack. A creature burning in this way never takes more than 2d6 points of fire damage in a round, even if it has been hit by more than one searing blast.

Shocking Blast

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th; Arcane Essence
This arcane essence invocation allows you to change your arcane blast into a shocking blast. A shocking blast deals electricity damage. Any creature struck by the attack must make a fortitude save or take a -4 penalty to strength for 10 minutes. The strength penalties from multiple shocking blasts do not stack.

Invocations:
Blindsense

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th
You can sharpen your hearing and sight when you use this invocation, gaining blindsense out to 30 feet for 24 hours.

Charm

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th
You can beguile a creature within 60 feet. The creature must succeed on a Will save or instantly come to regard you as its comrade. This is a language-dependent ability. Other than these differences, this ability works as the charm monster spell. You can never have more than one target charmed at a time with this ability. If a second creature is charmed, you lose your hold on the first creature.

Comfort the cold

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 2nd
Your aura renders you partly immune to the ravages of the environment. You remain cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather, as the spell endure elements. Additionally, you radiate a small aura of warmth or cold; allies within 30 feet of you also benefit from this effect. This invocation lasts for 24 hours.

Decoy

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th
You can use dimension door as a spell-like ability, although the range is limited to short (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels). When you use this ability, you leave behind a major image of yourself in your place that lasts for 1 round. The image reacts appropriately to attacks as if you were concentrating on it.

Disembodied Hand

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th
One of your hands drops off at the wrist and floats in the air. You can use the hand in all ways as if it were still attached—manipulating items, delivering attacks with a light or one-handed weapon, or even delivering a touch attack with a spell or invocation that you cast before it detaches. However, it requires you to expend the same action that would have been required—picking up an item takes a move action, making an attack takes a standard action, and so forth. The hand flies rather than crawls, but it can't move on its own. You can move the hand up to 30 feet through the air as a move action. You can direct a disembodied hand in your space to reattach to your arm as a move action. When you use this invocation, your current and full normal hit point totals are reduced by 5 for as long as the hand is detached. The hand is considered a Diminutive creature with AC 20 and 5 hit points. Its Hide and Move Silently modifiers are equal to your warlock level. For all other purposes, its statistics are equal to yours.

If your disembodied hand is destroyed, it regrows in ld4 hours. At the end of this period, you regain the 5 lost hit points. Only one of your hands can be used for disembodied hand at any time; if your disembodied hand is destroyed, you can't use this invocation again until your hand regrows.

Foul Curse

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th
You can use this invocation to bestow a curse upon a touched opponent (as bestow curse). Even if the save against this ability succeeds, the creature takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls for 1 minute.

Stony Grasp

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 3rd
You can use stony grasp (see page 124)as the spell.

Walking Dead

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 4th
You can turn the bones or bodies of dead creatures into undead skeletons or zombies (as the animate dead spell). Unless you include the normal material component for the spell (an onyx gem worth 25 gp per Hit Die of the undead) as part of the process, undead created by this ability crumble into dust after 1 minute per caster level.

Walk Unseen

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 2nd
You gain the ability to fade from view. You can use invisibility (self only), except the duration is 24 hours.

Wandering Eye

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 3rd
One of your eyes leaves your head and floats around, flying around. You can see through the eye no matter where it goes, so you can use it to scout or spy. The eye can't fly of its own volition, but you can direct it to fly up to 30 feet as a move action. You can direct a crawling eye in your space to go back into your eye socket as a move action.

When you use this invocation, your current and full normal hit point totals are reduced by 2 for as long as the eye is detached. The eye is considered a Fine creature with AC 20 and 2 hit points. Its Hide and Move Silently modifiers are equal to your warlock level. For all other purposes, its statistics are equal to yours.

You can't cast most invocations or spells through the eye, but any spells or invocations that affect your sense of sight—such as darksight, all-seeing eyes, or detect magic—function through the eye as though it was still attached. If your crawling eye is destroyed, you are dazzled for ld4 hours, during which time the eye regrows. (If you normally have only one eye, you are blinded instead.) At the end of this period, you regain the 2 lost hit points, and the dazzled condition ends.

Only one of your eyes can be used for wandering eye at any time; if your wandering eye is destroyed, you can't use this invocation again until your eye regrows.

Witch Step

Spoiler

Show

Lesser; 3rd
Your footsteps become supernaturally sure and supportive. Your movement is unaffected by undergrowth or rubble of any kind, and you are immune to being entangled. You can even walk on water, as the water walk spell. This invocation lasts for 24 hours.

GREATER

Spoiler

Show

Blast shape:
Arcane Cone

Spoiler

Show

Greater; 5th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows you to invoke your arcane blast as a 30-foot cone. The arcane cone deals the normal arcane blast damage to all targets within the area. This is not a ray attack, so it requires no ranged touch attack. Any creature in the area of the cone can attempt a Reflex save for half damage.

Arcane Essence:
Befuddling Blast

Spoiler

Show

Greater; 4th; Arcane Essence
This arcane essence invocation allows you to change your arcane blast into a befuddling blast. Any creature struck by a befuddling blast must succeed on a Will save or be confused for 1 round in addition to the normal damage from the blast. This is a mind influencing effect.

Hindering Blast

Spoiler

Show

Greater; 4th; Arcane Essence
You transform your arcane blast into a hindering blast. Any living creature struck by a hindering blast must succeed on a Will save or be slowed for 1 round in addition to the normal damage from the blast.

Noxious Blast

Spoiler

Show

Greater; 6th; Arcane Essence
This arcane essence invocation allows you to change your arcane blast into a noxious blast. Any creature struck by a noxious blast must make a Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 minute.

Repelling blast

Spoiler

Show

Greater; 6th; Arcane Essence
This arcane essence invocation allows you to change your arcane blast into a repelling blast. Any Medium or smaller creature struck by a repelling blast must make a Reflex save or be hurled 1d6×5 feet (1d6 squares) directly away from you and knocked prone by the energy of the attack. If the creature strikes a solid object, it stops prematurely, taking 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet hurled, and it is still knocked prone. Movement from this blast does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Invocations:
Caustic Mire

Spoiler

Show

Greater; 4th
You can use caustic mire as the spell (C.Mage p.98). If you use this invocation a second time while a previous caustic mire is still present, the previous effect ends.

Chilling Tentacles

Spoiler

Show

Greater; 5th
This invocation allows you to conjure forth a field of soul-chilling black tentacles that ooze from the ground, groping for victims. This invocation functions identically to the Evard’s black tentacles spell, except that each creature within the area of the invocation takes 1 point of cold damage each round per warlock level. Creatures in the area take this cold damage whether or not they are grappled by the tentacles.

Slumber of Ages

Spoiler

Show

Greater; 6th
You can use endless slumber as the spell (see page 103). Any creature awakened from this effect by anything other than a successful save takes damage equal to your warlock level (no save).

Wall of Arcane Flame

Spoiler

Show

Greater; 5th
You can conjure a wall of fire as the spell with this invocation. Half the wall’s fire damage results from supernatural power and is therefore not subject to being reduced by resistance to fire.

MYSTIC

Spoiler

Show

Blast Shape:
Arcane Devastation

Spoiler

Show

Mystic; 8th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows you to invoke your arcane blast as an arcane devastation. This causes bolts of mystical power to lash out and savage nearby targets. An arcane devastation attack deals arcane blast damage to any number of targets designated by you within 20 feet. This is not a ray attack, so it requires no ranged touch attack. Each target can attempt a Reflex save for half damage.

Arcane Essence:
Binding Blast

Spoiler

Show

Mystic; 7th; Arcane Essence
You transform your arcane blast into a binding blast. Any creature struck by a binding blast must succeed on a Will save or be stunned for 1 round.

Invocations:
Caster’s Lament

Spoiler

Show

Mystic; 8th
You can produce a break enchantment effect (as the spell) with your touch. You can only attempt to affect any single magical effect—an ongoing spell, a permanent transformation, a magic item, or the like—once per 24-hour period. In addition, you can use casters lament to counterspell another caster's spell (of 7th level or lower) as if casting greater dispel magic.

Clear Foresight

Spoiler

Show

Mystic; 9th
You can use foresight as the spell with this invocation. If you are within 100 feet of and have line of sight to the target of the ability, you can communicate telepathically with the target

Steal Summoning

Spoiler

Show

Mystic; 6th
You can use steal summoning as the spell (see C. Mage page 118).

Word of Changing

Spoiler

Show

Mystic; 5th
You utter a powerful word that transforms a creature into an inoffensive form. This effect functions like the baleful polymorph spell, except that 24 hours after being transformed, the subject is entitled to a second saving throw (at its original save bonus) to spontaneously resume its normal form. If this second save fails, it remains in its new form permanently or until restored by some other means.
