So I'm DMing a campaign, and one of my players is a Druid of the land. However, he wants to make a dark themed Druid focused on shadow and negative energy. I'm trying to help him build a set of circle spells for our next session in two weeks, and I'm having a bit of trouble trying to find spells that would suit this concept. I have vampiric touch for 5th level, blight for 7th, and contagion for 9th. Does anyone have any other ideas? I don't want to add animate dead or resurrection magic to this list, and the party already has several sources of the darkness spell. I still need two spells of 2nd level and one each of third, fourth and fifth.

Some suggestions:
2: Ray of enfeeblement/ Blindness/Deafness/ Pass without Trace (You might still want put Darkness on there, every bonus spell list has a few spell which will never be used)
3: Fear/ Hunger of Hadar
4: Phantasmal killer/ Death ward (knowledge of darkness can go both ways)
5: Antilife shell/ Dream (with only the nightmare option)

Typically bonus spells go "One utility or exploration, one combat option"

Thank you for the advice, I'll be sure to include more utility spells and the ones you've suggested are all helpful.

Evard's Black Tentacles? I've always liked the flavour of that spell.
