I'm fine having one 6th-level spell a day (and so on); the issue is that once chosen, the spell cannot be tailored to the adventure or the campaign;  there is nothing tactical about it. And so, for example, for 7th level arcanum I would either ALWAYS take Plane Shift (I like the thought of multi planar adventures; it has utility and offensive uses; etc.), or else NEVER take Plane Shift (because there's a cleric in the party who can cast it whenever there is need for the utility). If it were possible to make substitutions when you level up (or when you gain a new Arcanum, or whatever), there would be some resilience there. Without that, I take a spell that is either situationally useful (and so desirable, because it's the sort of game I want) or else COMPLETELY REDUNDANT since a cleric or wizard in the part has it trivially, as desired.That's my trouble with Warlocks -- not on the scale of the spells/day, or the utility of a given adventure, but over the course of a campaign.</blockquote>
