Even though Paladins don't get a special mount as a class feature anymore, I still wanted to update some 3.5 spells that interacted with this mechanic, wether they use a mount made with find steed or a regular one. Some of you will recognize the Golden Barding spell from one of my previous threads. I updated it, addressing the concerns of whom could be targeted by the spell. Hence, all these spells have the following material component "A special saddle that was blessed through a one-hour ceremony that used sacred materials worth at least 100 gp" and begin with the following sentence "You touch the creature wearing the saddle used as a material component for this spell".
Let me know what you think.

For the duration, the target gains resistance to radiant and nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage. It also becomes immune to the charmed and frightened conditions, as well as exhaustion. Furthermore, it gains darkvision up to 120 feet and its attacks deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage.
Unholy Mount
3rd-level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, (A special saddle that was blessed through a one-hour ceremony that used sacred materials worth at least 100 gp)
Duration: 10 minutes
You touch the creature wearing the saddle used as a material component for this spell and cause unholy power to radiate from it in a dark nimbus.

Furthermore, it gains darkvision up to 120 feet and its attacks deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage.
Spiritual Chariot
4th-level Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (A special saddle that was blessed through a one-hour ceremony that used sacred materials worth at least 100 gp)
Duration: 1 hour
You touch the creature wearing the saddle used as a material component for this spell and a chariot made of magical force appears and harnesses itself to it. It can hold any combination of up to two Medium or four Small creatures (including the driver). Although the chariot seems large and sturdy, it and its occupants have no weight for the purpose of the mount’s carrying capacity.
The driver of the chariot has advantage on any ability checks related to driving it and guiding the mount. Also, creatures inside the chariot can benefit from half cover, depending of the position of their attackers.
The chariot is immune to all damage, but a disintegrate spell or similar effect will destroy it. The spell ends early if the chariot is ever unhitched from the mount.
