Choose an otherworldly patron from the warlock patron list. If you are a warlock, you must choose the otherworldly patron you took. Creatures can make deals with you to become your arcane servant. Any creature with no levels in cleric, paladin or warlock who could take a level in warlock can ask you for arcane powers. As an action, you may deem them worthy and they become your servant, a 1st level warlock with your chosen warlock patron.
• If you are not a warlock, whenever a servant under your service expends a warlock spell slot, you must expend a spell slot equal to the slot level your servant spent - 1, or higher. If you can not, the spell your servant was trying to cast has no effect.
• If you are a warlock, whenever a servant under your service expends a warlock spell slot, your hit point maximum is reduced by a number of d4s equal to the slot level of the spell cast - 1. This reduction lasts until you take a long rest. For the purposes of this feature, this reduction of hit points is considered you 'expending a warlock spell slot' equal to the slot level your servant spent - 1.
• You know whenever one of your servants wants to use a warlock feature or expend a warlock spell slot, and you can choose to cancel the use of that feature or the use of that spell slot.
• A warlock under your service can leave your service by spending an action and making a contested Charisma check of any skill of their choice against your Charisma check of any skill of your choice. On a tie or higher, they leave your service. They can attempt this once per long rest.
• When a servant leaves your service, you permanently expend a number of spell slots equal to that servant's number of spell slots, and they are all of the level of that servant's slot level. If you do not have enough spell slots of that level, you permanently reduce the slot level of a number of your higher level spell slots equal to that servant's number of spell slots, and the reduction is equal to that servant's slot level. The servant under your service loses all levels of warlock, and is no longer your servant. You can regain access to these spell slots by touching that person's soul and spending an action to consume it.
• A servant of yours who dies while under your service does not leave your service. If you die, all of your servants lose all levels in warlock until your are resurrected.
