Ritual of Black Charms entry into Mindbender?
From Lords of Darkness, page 11:
The Ritual of Black Charms: This ritual gives the recipient the ability to use charm person (DC 11 + recipient’s Charisma modifier) and suggestion (Dc 13 + recipient’s Charisma modifier) each once per day as a supernatural ability. When used, the recipient’s eyes turn completely black for 1 full round. The recipient’s caster level is 5th. The ritual requires an opal worth 300 gp or more as a material component and drains 1,600 XP from the recipient.
Requirements
Alignment: Any nongood
Skills: Bluff 4 ranks , Diplomacy 4 ranks , Intimidate 4 ranks , Sense Motive 4 ranks
Spells: Able to cast charm person, use charm person as a spell-like ability, or use the charm invocation.
Spells or Spell-Like Abilities: Arcane caster level 5th.
You'd still need to meet the other requirements, of course, but could this let a Warlock build slip into the class at lv. 6 (and thus pick up the Mindsight feat at lv. 6 instead of at lv. 9) without committing any race/feat choices?

Re: Ritual of Black Charms entry into Mindbender?
By a strict RAW reading... Not neccessarily.
Able to cast Charm Person... It doesn't cast, it uses.
Use Charm Person as a Spell-Like... No, it's Supernatural.
Use the Charm Invocation... Obviously doesn't do this.
However, I'm pretty sure that most DMs wouldn't have an issue treating "use" a spell and "cast" a spell as synonymous. I'd certainly not have an issue with using this to sneak in.I have a LOT of Homebrew!

The Aberrant Dragonmark feat grants charm person as an SLA if that could be an option.
