Just as the title says ! I'm looking for some spells that would be fun to convert to 5e for a cleric or divine caster, be it evil or good.

Amanuensis the level 0 spell that let you copy mundane text and books.

I will add more in a few hours when I will get home.

Time stop was a domain spell in 3.5 but no longer is in 5e(you no longer have treachery domain just being the "all the cool wizard spells granted to the cleric" domain)

Bless/Curse Water - a spell that was great because it explained a lot.

Deathwatch - because no death cleric should be easily fooled by mundane acting.

Death Knell/Consumptive Field - a great way of finishing off opponents

Imbue with Spell ability - few things enabled to feel as a cult leader like giving your minions supernatural powers

Holy Word/Blasphemy - a bit of good old cleric blasting

Dimensional Lock - it's a useful, iconic spell, especially versus pesky fiends

Faith Healing - great for those evil cultists who now can focus on healing only those worthy

Bodak’s Glare - Bodaks are so hard to come by these days…

Abyssal Army/Heavenly Host/Hellish Horde/Plague of Undead - great 9th level alternatives to Gate for summoners and necromancers

Familial Geas/Oath of Blood - both are such a common trope that it's quite weird we didn't get a reprint

Cloak of Hate - also called "Ruin Someone's Day"

Befoul - good and versatile spell for commiting war crimes

Eyes of the Zombie - turning your undead minions into better scouts

Stupor - for when you need to take prisoners

Addiction - potentially great in political campaigns, for ruining someone's life or creating loyal minions

Sap Strength - they can't hit you if they can't move

Hasn't that spell basically just become a part of the Ceremony spell?

Holy storm- just always liked this spell. Would need some rewording but could be a nice weak AOE + Anti fire spell.

Fimbulwinter. But they'd just ruin it by making its duration 1 minute/concentration, and it's area of effect a 30 foot radius.

I totally forgot about that one. Huh, at least I don't have to worry about the origins of holy water anymore.

There were some great spells in 3.5, I really wish they'd bring out more divine/evil spells. The book of vile darkness has some sweet as hell spells. Bone Blade is probably a favourite of mine.
