Warlock Spell List 5e

The warlock list in the 2024 SRD 5.2 holds 72 spells: 7 cantrips and 65 leveled spells from 1st to 9th level. Warlocks cast with Charisma through Pact Magic, which gives few spell slots that all share one level and come back on a short rest. Eldritch Blast is the signature cantrip.

Warlock casting works differently from every other class. Pact Magic gives you a small number of slots (two for most of the early game) that are always cast at your highest slot level, up to 5th, and recover on a short rest. Spells of 6th to 9th level come from Mystic Arcanum, one free cast of each per long rest, starting at 11th level. In 2014 warlocks learn spells known; in 2024 they are prepared spells, but you still swap just one per warlock level.

Since slots are rare, cantrips carry the load. Eldritch Blast fires a 1d10 force beam, adding a second beam at 5th level, a third at 11th and a fourth at 17th; with the Agonizing Blast invocation each beam adds your Charisma modifier. Hex stacks 1d6 necrotic on every beam that hits. At 1st level, Hellish Rebuke punishes whoever hits you, and at 3rd level Misty Step and Hold Person are great uses of an upcast slot.

A tip: pick spells that scale well when upcast or don't care about slot level, because every warlock spell is cast with your top slot anyway. Avoid low-impact 1st-level spells you'd be forced to cast at 3rd or 5th level, and ask for short rests often; that is when your slots come back.

Warlock spell list FAQ

How many spells are on the warlock spell list?

The 2024 SRD 5.2 has 72 warlock spells: 7 cantrips and 65 spells of 1st to 9th level.

How do warlock spell slots work?

Pact Magic slots are all the same level, rise to a maximum of 5th level, and recover on a short or long rest. Warlocks get only a few slots, so they rely on cantrips and invocations.

How do warlocks cast 6th to 9th-level spells?

Through Mystic Arcanum. At 11th, 13th, 15th and 17th level a warlock picks one spell of 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th level, and can cast each once per long rest without a slot.

How much damage does Eldritch Blast do?

Each beam deals 1d10 force, 5.5 on average. You get two beams at 5th level, three at 11th and four at 17th, and Agonizing Blast adds your Charisma modifier to each beam.
