Although it did make sense that Bladelocks have to try harder to use their boon well, cause they're basically just changing their combat role to melee, so they have to be better at melee than they are at just spamming Eldritch Blast, which takes a lot of effort. Whereas the other two just gain more utility without having to change anything.
I hope this Isn't considered too far off the original thread topic, but as for buffing Chain locks, my thought is just, the Familiar's minimum hit dice are equally to your proficiency bonus, and when they roll for hit points they take the max number. Also they use your proficiency bonus instead of theirs.

I like the proficiency addition to familiars, is something that does not shift balance enormously but can be indeed useful and a welcome addition.

Borrowed Knowledge Prerequisite: 7th level, Book of Ancient Secrets
While taking a short or long rest, you can spend 1 hour to inscribe in your Tome from the Pact of the Tome feature a spell not present in the Warlock spell list that another creature within 60 feet of you is able to cast. You will be able to cast this spell once without expending a Warlock spell slot at the current level of your Warlock spell slots. The spell disappears from your Tome if you do not cast it within 8 hours or at the beginning of your next short or long rest.
Needs work. The first line shoud be worded "During a short rest or at the end of a long rest, you can spend 1 hour to inscribe a non-warlock spell that is known and prepared by creature within 60 feet of you into your book of shadows."
And really this is too strong as is. Fist off, it doesn't limit spell level (yay free wish spell 3 times per day). Second, the invocation is like a free ring of spell storing.

I wrote it in the spur of the moment, and I actually intended for the spell to be at most of a level the Warlock knows spells of, I just forgot in the rush ^^"
Although if you take the Book of Ancient Secrets invocation, the Tome does actually get better over time, although it is somewhat DM dependant and it costs a fair amount, but still, you have the potential to become the best ritual caster cause you can use rituals from any class.
Leomund's Tiny Hut, Commune With Nature, Find Familiar, Purify Food and Drink, Speak With Animals, and dozens of other spells which you have to potentially of being able to cast.
In my opinion Book of Ancient Secrets is way underrated.

Oh, I wasn't expecting anyone to make something for me, I was just voicing my frustration that there are so few invocations for the other pacts. I'm honestly fine.

Indeed, sorry, my meaning was more on the "going off of what Yharim said" meaning rather than doing it after a request from you. Brain decided to go conservative with words there XD

I know this is an old thread, but I like the idea from Pathfinder of casting touch spells through weapon attacks. So it may balance the lack of damage you usually get through the addition of spell damage to your melee hit.
The scaling would be hard to tweak, since cantrips scale pretty well with level so it would be a huge boost to your damage with thirsting blade. Although you could give an invocation like the Eldritch Knights that lets you make an attack when you cast spells as a bonus action

But yeah, the idea was similar to a ring of spell storing

Question regarding the Patron's Blade Invocation.
Does the bonus to hit and damage scale with total (Character) level or Warlock level?
