[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7833218, member: 6677017"] Okay, nobody likes this. It feels underpowered compared to other invocation options. If I recall correctly, the justification given for the once per long rest limitation was to prevent spamming spells that would be problematic if you could do them repeatedly with short rests. Here are the relevant spells: [I]compulsion, confusion, conjure elemental, slow, polymorph, bestow curse, bane. [/I]I can't see how any of those would be problematic, with the possible exceptions of [I]conjure elemental [/I]and [I]polymorph[/I], and I don't even think those should be problems. Am I missing something obvious there? There is at least one benefit of the phrasing--since you use a warlock spell slot it is automatically leveled. But that is small consolation for such a limitation. A couple of solutions I've thought of would be to either just add the spell to your spell list, or let you use it 1/long rest without spending a spell slot (but at the level of your spell slots). I'm not sure I'm completely happy with either of those. I'm sure there are others that can be thought up.
