The Genie, 2nd Variant (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
The Genie, 2nd Variant[edit]
Warlock Subclass
Your otherworldly patron is a Genie, a rare and powerful elemental creature. You might have found your genie in a old, dusty lamp or you could have summoned it from the elemental planes. Warlocks with Genie patrons tend to have a more of a personal relationship with their patron than others, your genie might directly talk to you, however your genie is not your slave. It does not have to do your every bidding; it most likely had just agreed to lend you its power. There are four types of genies to chose from: Dao, Djinn, Efreet, and Marids. Your patron spells and abilities are determined by which class of genie you take. (Note: The spells marked with * are taken from the Elemental Evil player's companion, which could be found for free at http://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/EE_PlayersCompanion.pdf)
