Here's some context. I'm playing Out of the Abyss as a celestial tomelock/life cleric multiclass and just reached warlock level 5. I play mostly support and utility, so I've already snagged the "Mask of many faces" and "book of ancient secrets" invocations. I'm the only full caster in a party with two fighters and a ranger. My character sheet is here if you want more info: ddb.ac/characters/1651776/WgZPdW
I'm mostly interested in gaining a new at will spell since my spell slots get used up pretty fast. I feel like "Misty visions" would be helpful as either a distraction or way for the party to hide or to distract an enemy, etc. I don't have minor illusion so silent image would be a great help. That said, I'm also considering being able to cast "detect magic" (to detect divination magic, illusions, etc which have come up often enough) or "false life" (8 temp HP all the time!) at will instead. I was planning on picking the false life invocation, but we've been running into faezerus more often and it must be cast every hour several times for that 8 HP. I also consistently use disguise self to conceal my drow heritage, so being cloaked in both illusion and necromantic magic at all times may be...problematic.
If you're the only full caster, then definitely grab Eldritch Sight. Someone in your party should be able to Detect Magic frequently, sounds like you're it.
You could just put detect magic in your book since it a ritual spell.
Silent image can be used both out/inside combat. you can use wall defensivly for covor or offensifly to funnel/block enemy pathway. make fake creature for deception/distraction.
I am also the only full caster in my team. I have Detect Magic in my book of ancient secrets and I have to say my team of impatient Grog Strongjaw style melee fighter do not like waiting 10 minutes for me to check for arcane traps before rushing into a situation. I would consider grabbing Eldritch Sight for the always on detect magic. I am probably going to switch out one of my invocations for this on my next level up just so my group stops complaining about waiting 10 minutes lol.

Your thoughts? I'm open to any ideas
My Hexblade has used Fiendish Vigor to great benefit, until Level 5 where she uses Armor of Agathys for higher HP bump/damage.
Eldritch Sight would be quite beneficial for a non-caster party that you are in...
Either of those, IMHO, should help quite a bit.
