Anyone want 44 pages of spells converted to 5e?

Hello, I've got a magazine (Dragon Magazine from Dec. 2002) with some 3e spells I want to convert for use in my group's 5e campaign, would you be willing to share your process? I've never played 3e myself, so I'm not entirely certain on how certain things should translate across the editions. I'd also be happy to share the spells.
So I've got this ongoing project where I'm converting old spells, both from old D&D sources official and otherwise and from my own campaign notes, to 5e. Much as I did when 3e came out, I am posting a document with a bunch of work so far for anyone interested.

In this document- which is 44 pages of actual spell conversions, plus an index of spells by class and level (and by school, for wizards)- you will find spells converted from every edition of the game from 1e through 4e. A few of them reference either custom domains or house rules, such as the critical severity and fumble charts that I use. However, the vast majority should be fine for use with "straight" D&D. Whatever spellcasting class you are playing, I've got spells for you- including such forgotten classics as arcane mark, wizard glue, thought capture, weighty chest, ivy siege, atonement, gift of speech, know customs, prying eyes, nap, regroup, blazing starfall, protection from normal missiles, anticipate teleport, reaving dispel, blackmantle, visions of ruin and more!

Sadly, I didn't reference sources for these. A couple are copied from the Elemental Evil companion, and there might be a few copied from ones posted on EnWorld, though I wouldn't swear to it.

Anyway, enjoy! I will update the pdf when it grows significantly. :)

EDIT: PDF updated 12 April.

I don't really have a process. It's pure vibes and judgement with the intent to err on the side of under- rather than overpowered. Sorry, wish I could be more help!
