D&D has classically broken spells out in wizard-defined schools of magic. However, lacking access to healing magic, spells like cure wounds have floated through various magical schools over the editions. I'd like to make a spell school, counter to Necromacy - based on the idea that necromancy revolves around spells of the negative material plane/undeath and necrotic damage. This new school would be based on the positive material plane, life-giving magic and radiant-related abilities. I'm not fond of the name Radiomancy (sounds too sci-fi) and would like a better name if I can find it (White Magic, Albusmancy, Niveusation or Niveusmancy - something).
These would be the spells that would change their school to Radiomancy

Any that I may have missed, or that should not be part of the above list. Two I purposed excluded was false life, as that seems to infer a sort of vampiric vitality to the user and feels it should remain necrotic, as should transfer life.
4th, 6th and 8th could use some additional spells. Some I am considering:
Sunmelt
4th level Radiomancy
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S, M (A crystal lens worth 25 gp)
Duration: Instantaneous
You call down a focused beam of light to melt enemies. Select a 10-foot diameter area within range. Targets in the area of effect must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 4d10 radiant damage and gains a level of exhaustion. If the target fails the save by 4 or more, it takes two levels of exhaustion instead of one. If the target successfully saves, it takes half damage only.
Dome of Light
6th level Radiomancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self, 20-ft radius
Components: V, S, M (A clear bead of crystal worth at least 50 gp)
Duration: 1 minute
You create a hemispherical dome of shimmering light, extending outward from yourself at a distance out to 20 feet. Any hostile creature in the area of effect when the spell is cast must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature is pushed until it is outside the area of effect and takes 1d6 radiant damage per five feet it is moved.
The dome has the following ongoing effects:

- Any hostile creature starting or ending its turn within the area of effect takes 1d6 radiant damage. The creature can only take this damage once during its turn.
- Any allied creature starting its turn in the area of effect that is under half hit points heals 1d6 hit points.
- Any allied creature ending its turn in the area of effect suffering from the blinded, deafened, poisoned, paralyzed or petrified condition can make a saving throw with advantage to end the effect.
