- Progressive Affliction

On a failed check, they are given the Eldritch Poisoning condition until the end of your next turn, as they are sickened by the malignant eldritch energies. Eldritch Poisoning grants the target disadvantage on all attack rolls and ability checks.
If the target already has the Eldritch Poisoning condition when they fail this save, they are instead given the Eldritch Ensnaring condition, as the eldritch energies solidify and restrain the target. Eldritch Ensnaring causes the creature's speed to become 0, and it can't benefit from any bonus to its speed. Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and the creature's attack rolls have disadvantage, and the creature has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.
If the target already has the Eldritch Ensnaring condition when they fail this save, they are instead given the Eldritch Binding condition, as the Eldritch Energies harden around the target, strengthening the bonds that hold them. A creature with the Eldritch Binding condition can't take actions or reactions.

A creature with the Eldritch Petrification condition is incapacitated (see the condition), can't move or speak, and is unaware of its surroundings. Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and the creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws. The creature is given resistance to all damage, as the rock-like cocoon protects it from damage.
When a creature is given a new condition by this invocation, all previous conditions from this invocation are locked in, and cannot be removed until the new condition is removed. For example, a creature that gains Eldritch Binding cannot be cured of Eldritch Ensnaring or Eldritch Poisoning until it loses Eldritch Binding. At the end of every turn of a creature with a condition granted by this feat, they may make a Constitution saving throw to attempt to remove the newest condition they have been given. If they succeed, that condition is removed, and the next condition starts its timer over, and will remain until the end of the Warlock's next turn.
Any spell or ability that removes conditions can be used to remove the conditions from this feat, but only one condition can be removed at a time by these means. If multiple spells are cast in a round, multiple conditions can be removed in a round, which may stack with the save to remove any conditions that may remain.
