Pact of the Tome says:




When you gain this feature, choose three cantrips from any class's spell list. While the book is on your person, you can cast those cantrips at will.




Are these cantrips considered Warlock spells for the purposes of determining attack bonuses and save DCs?



I think that might be the intent, but unless I'm missing something, I don't think RAW support that. Similar features seem to specify when a spell becomes a class spell, such as a cleric's domain spells:




If you have a domain spell that doesn't appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you.




Is my interpretation correct that while the Warlock can cast them, they need to use the ability scores appropriate for the class whose list the cantrip comes from?
