Warlocks, often portrayed as sorcerers or witches, are believed to possess dark and mysterious powers. These enigmatic individuals are said to stir their spells in a variety of different locations, each with its own symbolism and significance. The choice of where a warlock stirs their spells is integral to the successful casting of magic. One common belief is that warlocks stir their spells in hidden caves and caverns. These natural formations, cloaked in darkness and seclusion, are thought to enhance the power of the spell. The echoing silence and damp atmosphere create an otherworldly ambience, allowing the warlock to harness their arcane abilities to their fullest potential.
For this particular spellbook:
1st level charm person , mage armor , magic missile 2nd level hold person , invisibility , suggestion 3rd level fireball , haste , tongues 4th level dominate beast , stoneskin 5th level hold monster. And just to elaborate Bards, Fighters Eldritch Knight , Rangers, Rogues Arcane Trickster , Sorcerers, and Warlocks have a set of spells that they know , chosen from their class spell list.
The echoing silence and damp atmosphere create an otherworldly ambience, allowing the warlock to harness their arcane abilities to their fullest potential. The act of stirring spells in caves serves to deepen the connection between the warlock and the mystical forces they seek to manipulate. Another popular notion is that warlocks stir their spells within ancient ruins and sacred sites.
D&D 5E Question regarding warlock expanded spell lists
So I've been playing a warlock for about 4 levels now and always assumed their patron spell list was like druid circle spells or cleric domains (free spell choices you always have prepared), but then a party member pointed out that it merely expands your spell list, not that it automaticly gives you the spell as prepared. After reading it over I came to the same conclusion, but I did kinda wanted to make sure that was the case before I scrap or replace them.

Your friend is correct.
If it makes you feel any better, you are not the first person who's made that mistake, a player of mine did too.

I wish they made it a bit clearer, but yes, your friend is correct. Just spells on the Warlock list, not spells known.

Warlocks don’t prepare spells. It does add those spells to the list of spells from which you can choose when you learn a new spell.

And just to elaborate: Bards, Fighters (Eldritch Knight), Rangers, Rogues (Arcane Trickster), Sorcerers, and Warlocks have a set of spells that they know, chosen from their class spell list. The set of spells they know changes only when they level up (according to rules specific to the class). If they know a spell and have an appropriate slot available, they can cast it (barring exceptional circumstances such as being silenced, unconscious, or dead, among others).
Clerics, Druids, and Paladins select spells to prepare, chosen from their class spell list. They can change this selection anytime they finish a long rest. If they have a spell prepared and have an appropriate slot available, they can cast it (caveat as above). In essence, they just get to change the spells they have available to cast completely and much more frequently than casters who must "know" spells. Some class features grant spells that are 'always prepared', which makes them more like 'known' spells.
The Wizard is unique in that they must both 'know' a spell (have it in their spell book) and have it prepared in order to cast it.
Monks (Way of the Four Elements) are their own thing.
I've probably missed some magical subclasses, but that covers most of the PH.
@BacchusNL - if you already realized this, sorry, this isn't intended to be condescending.

These mystical locations serve as conduits to the spiritual realm, amplifying the warlock's power and facilitating their interactions with the unseen. By stirring spells amidst the crumbling remnants of forgotten civilizations, warlocks tap into the residual energies and knowledge that lingers within these hallowed grounds. This practice emphasizes the warlock's connection to the ancient and the timeless, harnessing their abilities to shape the world around them. In contrast, some legends depict warlocks stirring spells in the heart of dense and primal forests. The vibrant life and rich biodiversity of these environments are thought to infuse the warlock's magic with the raw vitality of nature itself. The rustling leaves, whispering wind, and earthy scents all contribute to the swirling energies as the warlock stirs their spells. It is in these sylvan settings that warlocks seek to commune with the spirits of the land, embracing their natural surroundings and drawing upon the primal magic that flows through every living thing. Ultimately, the choice of where warlocks stir their spells is a deeply personal and highly individualistic decision. Each warlock possesses their own unique connection to the mystical forces that govern their abilities. Whether it be hidden caves, ancient ruins, or dense forests, the location serves to enhance and channel their mastery of the arcane arts. Regardless of where they stir their spells, warlocks continue to captivate the imagination and inspire awe with their mysterious and powerful abilities..
Reviews for "Seeking the Source: Where Do Warlocks Tap into their Spellcasting Abilities?"
1. Karen - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Where do warlocks stir spells". The plot was confusing and hard to follow. I didn't connect with any of the characters and found them all to be one-dimensional. The writing itself felt disjointed and lacked flow. Overall, I found this book to be a difficult and unsatisfying read.
2. Mike - 1 star
I have to say, "Where do warlocks stir spells" was a big letdown for me. The story felt cliché and unoriginal, with predictable plot twists and a lack of depth. The pacing was extremely slow, making it a struggle to stay engaged. I had high hopes for this book based on the positive reviews I read, but it just didn't live up to the hype. I would not recommend it.
3. Amanda - 2 stars
I found "Where do warlocks stir spells" to be quite underwhelming. The characters were flat and lacked development, and the dialogue felt forced. The world-building was inadequate, leaving me feeling lost and confused. The book had potential, but it fell short in execution. I was hoping for a captivating and immersive read, but unfortunately, this was not it. If you're looking for an engaging fantasy novel, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
