Invocations - Expanded
In an attempt to make other Warlock cantrips more viable and useful, detailed below are a list of invocations available to warlocks utilising cantrips other than eldritch blast.
Some are eldritch blast invocations simply translated, such as Agonizing Blast for all of them, while others are truly unique.

Dreadstrike
Prerequisite: Chill Touch or Toll the Dead cantrip
Whenever you reduce a humanoid to 0 Hit Points and kill them with the chill touch or toll the dead cantrip, you can use your reaction to animate it, causing it to stand up immediately with 1 hit point. The creature uses the zombie stat block in the Monster Manual. It remains animate for 1 hour, after which time it collapses and dies.
In combat, the zombie’s turn comes immediately after yours. It obeys your mental commands, and the only action it can take is the Attack action, making one melee attack.
You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so again whenever you finish a short or long rest.
