I'm not sure that truly bothers me, but I was thinking about it after reading a post on Reddit, I thought it might be a cooler spell in general if, instead of casting it into a space you cast it onto a creature. I've bolded the changesHealing Spirit2nd-level conjuration Casting Time: 1 bonus action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute You call forth a nature spirit to soothe the wounded. The  intangible spirit manifests around a creature you can see  within range. The spirit looks like a transparent beast or fey (your  choice).  Until the spell ends, at the start of the target's turn, they heal 2d6 hit points. The spirit can’t heal constructs or  undead.  As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the spirit up to 30 feet to a creature you can see. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the healing increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd. I increased the healing by 1d6 since it is now a single target spell, 2d6 healing at the start of your turn feels a little better than 1d6. Technically, it could heal up people outside of combat fairly efficiently since the druid could use a bonus action to move it after someone has healed to get 4d6 a round but I think I'm cool with that. What I like about this version of the spell is that it's a spirit that is attached to a target, what other spells could be created that manifest as a guardian spirit? Even if new spells aren't created there is the possibility to refluff some spells. Protection from energy, water breathing, these are spells that could manifest as a guardian spirit providing some cool imagery. Cast water breathing on your ally and the image of a nereid might silently swim along with them, protection from energy might manifest as a dragon spirit imparting part of its immunity onto the player. I like the story of calling a protective spirit to aid an ally far more than just calling a spirit and placing it in a space on the battlefield.</blockquote>
