Witchblade
Enhance Martial Prowess with Eldritch Macic
Those who walk the dark path of the Witchblade are driven by an overwhelming desire to destroy the great evils of the world. Those especially dedicated, those willing to give up anything, are often approached by Eldritch Powers, beings of otherworldly might. These benefactors offer power in return for a fraction of the warrior's soul or unquestioning fealty.
Level 3: Pact Magic
You have learned to cast spells. See the chapter 7 for rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules as a Witchblade.
Cantrips
You know one cantrip of your choice from the Warlock spell list. Whenever you gain a Fighter level, you can replace one of this feature's cantrips with another cantrip of your choice from the Warlock spell list.
When you reach level 10 in this class, you learn another Warlock cantrip of your choice.
Spell Slots
The Witchblade Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Warlock spells of levels 1-4. The table also shows the level of those slots, all of which are the same level. You regain all expended Pact Magic spell slots when you finish a Short or Long Rest.

Prepared Spells of Level 1+
You prepare a list of spells of level 1 and higher that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 spell from the Warlock spell list.
The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Fighter levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Witchblade Spellcasting table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Warlock spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the table. The chosen spells must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach level 7, for example, you learn a new Warlock spell, which can be of levels 1-2.
