How do warlocks get spells?

Warlocks learn spells in Dungeons & Dragons primarily through their pact with an Otherworldly Patron, gaining new spells as they level up by choosing from the Warlock spell list, and can expand their knowledge via Pact Boons (like the Tome) or specific Eldritch Invocations that grant rituals or spells, essentially learning magic through a supernatural contract rather than traditional study. They swap known spells when leveling up and can gain access to extra spells through feats or racial abilities, but their power source is always the patron, not a spellbook.
