Living Tome

At 1st level, a magical bond has been created between you and the Archive. The Archive grants you a tome that can be used as a spellcasting focus for your Warlock spells. Additionally, you can use Intelligence, instead of Charisma, as the spellcasting ability for your warlock spells. This feature extends to your warlock class features and invocations as well.   The tome cannot be destroyed and if its misplaced or stolen you can perform a 1-hour ritual to return it. The ritual can be performed during a short or long rest. The tome also functions like a Book of Shadows if you take the Pact of the Tome feature at 3rd level.  

Your Flesh, My Power

At 6th level, you’ve learned to read creatures as easily as the scrolls located within the darkest places of the Archive.   As an action, touch a creature within reach. The target must make a Charisma saving throw with a DC equal to your warlock spell save DC. If they fail, they are stunned until the end of your next turn, and their flesh peels back into the pages of a book bound underneath their skin. The words within describe who they are and what they have done, and you can learn three details you wish to know at your DM’s discretion.   Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.  

Tainted Knowledge

At 10th level, you can use an action to enter the Archive along with up to ten willing companions of your choosing that you can see. Time does not pass outside the Archive while you are within, and creatures cannot rest, recover hit points, or maintain concentration while inside. When you choose to depart, you and your companions return instantly to the point from which you entered.   While inside the archive choose one spell from any class, the spell must be of 4th level or lower that is not a cantrip. You can cast this spell once without using a warlock spell slot. Whenever you are within the Archive, you can exchange this spell for a different one, but cannot use it until you finish a long rest.   Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.  

Unspeakable Truths

At 14th level, the Archive bestows upon you a greater portion of its knowledge.   As an action, you impart some of the knowledge you have learned with all creatures that can hear you within a 30 feet radius centered of you. Your words sounds like gibbering madness that all creatures in the radius can understand. All creatures who hear your words must make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. If they fail, they are driven mad and suffer confusion as though affected by the confusion spell for one minute. They can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of their turns, suffering psychic damage equal to your spellcasting modifier(minimum of 1) on a failure, ending the effect on a success.   Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
