The weapon returns to its previous state if you are more than 1.5m away from it for more than 10 turns.
Hexblade's Curse: Curse a target. Your damage rolls against the target gain a bonus equal to their Proficiency bonus. The number you need to roll a Critical Hit while attacking the target is also reduced by 1. If the target dies, you regain 4 hit points.

  People always whine about the spectres not appearing enough, but they don't realize that if a hexed enemy is killed, your hexblade gets healed for free even if the spectre doesn't appear, so it's very useful to keep getting heals during the combat. Combine that with False Life you can cast without any spell slots, ability to wear medium armor, Cloak of displacement for semi-permanent Blur and the "Tough" feat, and you get a mage character that is very difficult to kill.
  
  Also if your hexblade warlock gets downed, but another party member kills a hexed enemy, you still get healed and it will return your downed character into play without having to waste spell slots or potions and bonus actions to heal them. It's extremely useful and fun.
  
  And don't listen to people who think hexblade warlocks need to be multiclassed. You can have almost unbelievable damage output as a single class, by dual wielding the Shadow Blade (you get one upcasted Shadow Blade by casting the spell, and the other from Arabella's ring of shadow blade). Then combine it with resonance stone to give enemies psychic vulnerability and your damage gets doubled. Combine with the pact of the blade and you get double attack (while still retaining the bonus action to use your second offhand shadow blade). Combine with Booming Blade to add additional Thunder damage to the first attack. And your main blade can't get disarmed if you use the hexed weapon ability, so you don't have to worry about githyanki using their disarming attacks or heat metal.
  
  And if you encounter enemies who have psychic resistance, you can always summon a greatsword using the hexblade ability, or just use banishing smite which should be enough to defeat most enemies if it hits

  Ah yes, it's the best Gish of 5e!
  
  Do a quick buff, maybe lay down a Darkness or Hunger of Hadar, and poke away with a melee weapon of your choice.
  
  Good Ole fashion Gish combat.

  Terrible tbh wouldn't recommend. The accursed spectre looks cool but does basically nothing most of the time, And it's spell list is ranger tier garbage. You're basically just playing base warlock with a terrible summon you can use sometimes.

  Perfect Death Knight class. Especially if you take Pact of the Tome to get additional zombies or ghouls, but if you want an extra attack, then you gotta take Pact of the Blade which kinda sucks imo because otherwise you only have one attack

  Also if you think going full ELDRITCH BLAST is weaker than going full hexblade. Think again.
  ELDRITCH BLAST is the strongest cantrip if you go deep in it.
  
  You can make a build to cast 12 ELDRITCH BLAST on the first turn. Throwing people back. Dealing its damage + 2x charisma modifier on each ray, plus with critical chances from 100% on hold person people or just a 15 dice roll atack.
  Also is a ranged atack, good to position people. Cantrip dont expend spell slot, and get +10 bonus on atack rolls from arcane acuity.
  
  Is really strong.
  Hexblade is also strong. But each one have the pros and cons.

  The comment section here seems to dispute pact blade and hex blade with pact being more useful I think that pact blade is useful for the extra attacks but hex blade can do quite a bit of damage if you use the right strategy.
  
  For instance the opponent inflicted with hex will receive a damage bonus. If you have devil's sight and have the hexblade or another party member cast darkness you will be able to use booming blade which makes your opponents lose life when they move and force them to move to find you or a way out. You could also cast plant growth or greese before you cast darkness and it will make the opponent escaping or leaving much harder. Meanwhile you can see and get a lot of extra damage with an advantage and an easier crit roll

  Do you apply Hexblade's Curse based on chance? Do you use a bonus action when you hit to do so? Or the first one, AND you can just apply it to someone using a bonus action? If yes, does it cost a spellslot or any other resource?

  Shadow Blade becomes a learnable arcane spell in patch 8, known by Warlocks and reputedly no longer needing concentration. It peaks at +4d8 psychic damage.
