    Default Warlock Spell-Like Invocations: Schools, Cast Times, and Alterations

    If this table existed, it would have been a huge help to me. This table will help you answer the following questions:

    1. Can I qualify for that PrC that requires X number of Y-school spells?
      The table is sorted by school!
    2. What is the actual cast time of this invocation?
      The 1 standard action is just the default -- SLA's cast as spells use the spell's cast time!
    3. What is the difference between the spell it is cast as vs the invocation?
      Sorry if I missed anything


    If someone puts together a new warlock guide, feel free to jack this data.

    Spoiler: 40 spell-like invocations below (long table)

    Of course the answer to 1 is always no, since invocations don't count as spells for that purpose!

    Complete arcane p.72 may disagree with you. You cannot cast 3rd level illusion spells, but you can cast a specific 3rd level illusion spell if your invitation mimics its effects. Ergo, you can fulfill a requirement to cast 4 illusion spells with one 3rd level illusion or something along those lines. But you cannot fulfill a general requirement to cast 3rd level illusion spells.
