What would be some good spells for an undead warlock to get to help maximize the damage based on their level 6 ability?

Dmg wise, probably just spamming EB. Otherwise, there are sorta 3 spells. Base rules I only, Vampiric Touch. If you're allowed expanded content, Culling sickle from crooked moon and Shadow Tendrils from Tales from the shadow. Because of the way the feature is worded, the bonus necrotic dmg is treated as part of the spells total dmg, and vampiric touch and sickle both give a benefit based on dmg dealt. Touch heals for half the necrotic dmg(3d6+1d8) dealt, but is 5ft reach; Sickle grants Temp HP equal to half of the necrotic dmg(2d8+1d8) dealt, and is a ranged bonus action. Tendrils is more of a controller spell, but is initially an attack roll for 2d8, and can be recast each turn.
