So I'm playing an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, Lurker Warlock Multiclass. I get spells as per my Psionic Sorcery feature. At 7th level I should be getting Compulsion and Evard's Black Tentacles but I am not. I know that Compulsion is not on the Warlock or Sorcerer spell list so that may have something but I would very much like this issue to be fixed.
Because you're multiclassed, you won't gain those spells until you're a 7th level sorcerer. You determine the spells you can know based on your level in each class you have as if you were not multiclassed. So, for example, if you're a Sorcerer 4/Warlock 3, then you have 4 1st level slots and 3 second level slots from sorcerer, and 2 2nd level pact slots from warlock. That alone completely precludes you from being able to cast 4th level spells from the sorcerer list.

Partway through the quest for absolute truth.
I tested it just to be sure, and I got compulsion and evard's black tentacles at sorcerer level 7.
The psionic spells chart also says "sorcerer level."
Hmm. Yeah that makes sense. I forgot about the character level/sorcerer level difference. Thank you for your help!
