Here is a list of Spells converted from Oriental Adventures to 5th edition. The Shaman spell list can be used to add to Cleric and/or Druid spell lists, while the Wu Jen spells can be used by Wizards and Sorcerers.

These were converted with the setting of Kara-Tur (Toril) in mind, so in game set in the Realms, these should be hard to get in certain places. In nations such with a large Shou population, such as Thesk, they should not be that hard to get a hold of. But in places such as the Sword Coast or Cormyr, only a few people will be in the know. But please feel free to use them in your games.

I will post the rest up later.
