Non-Fey Warlocks (who can do this trick in the other direction, IIRC) would likely look to misty step, especially if they're a fragile Blade Pact user who needs to get away after smacking someone around. Hex is of course a reasonable if less-than-impressive option once you're level 11+. Genie gives you sanctuary, which pairs doubly well with something like a pre-cast blade ward (which is actually amazing in 2024, other than needing Concentration)--nearly unhittable and even if they do hit you they have to pass a save or (potentially) lose the action. The new Hexblade patron offers staggering smite, which might be a solid choice in the right context.Alternatively, if we can pick any bonus-action spell (perhaps acquired through a feat or some other special source), arcane vigor is a possible option. Your magic weapon being innately upcast to 5th level means you always get a +2 weapon out of it, and it's not Concentration, so that could be powerful for a Blade warlock. Or if you're a support-focused Warlock--perhaps with Celestial patron--healing word wouldn't be a bad pick. (Really nice if you can pick up the Dragonlance feat Divinely Favored as your Origin feat.)</blockquote>
