As long as the creature is on the same plane of existence as you, you can use your action on subsequent turns to maintain this connection. extending the duration until the end of your next turn. While perceiving through the other creature's senses, you benefit from any special senses possessed by that creature, and you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundingsIn a party with a really good scout that scouts ahead this could be pretty good.MASK OF MANY FACES You can cast disguise self at will. without expending a spell slot.Very fun but not particularly useful - though maybe with this and the actor feat you could make something nice.  That combo is my favorite thus far.MISTY VISIONS You can cast silent image at will, without expending a spell slot or material components.I've actually used a warlock with this invocation for a session.  It was quite fun but I'm not sure it was particularly useful.  ONE WITH SHADOWS Prerequisite: 5th level When you are in an area of dim light or darkness, you can use your action to become invisible until you move or take an action or a reaction.Terrible ability as you can't even attempt to hide after becoming invisible.BEAST SPEECH You can cast  speak with animals at  will, without expending a spell slot.Not impressedBEGUILING INFLUENCE You gain proficiency in the Deception and Persuasion skills.At least it's useful.DEVIL'S SIGHT You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet.Great for non-darkvision racesELDRITCH SIGHT You  can cast detect magic at will,  without expending a spell slotWhen a ritual has essentially the same effect you might as well not bother.</blockquote>
