D&D 5E Spell list with save info

[CapnZapp]

I'm looking for a D&D 5E list of spells that contains info not only about the usuals (class, school etc) but specifically also what save, if any, the spell has.

Does the spell mean the target gets a save? Or is it a spell attack? Or neither?

My purpose is to find out which and how many spells with(out) saves there are of a certain school. To be able to answer a question such as: How many Abjuration spells of 3rd level or lower has a Save DC? How many Conjuration spells? Specifically, I want to know things like how useful would a "wand of +1 to your save dc of necromancy spells" be? What spells would actually be affected?

Specific info on the save (is it a Dex save? a Cha save? no save at all? a ranged spell attack?) would be helpful but not mandatory.


Regards,
Zapp

PS. I have googled a fair bit, I've checked the more popular spell lists and none can tell me whether a spell allows a save or not.

No? None of them?

Excellent.

So, basically, the only schools for which a school-specific save DC bonus would be worthwhile are Evocation (doh!) and just maybe Conjuration and Enchantment.

For the rest, you could very well end up with the bonus applying only to a few or even no spells in any given character's repertoire.

To be safe, bunch together three schools (like Abjuration, Necromancy and Transmutation for instance).

It provides background on why any such items aren't in the DMG. (Of course, since the only DMG item that offers any save DC bonus at all is the rather rare Robe of the Archmagi, you could say that for all practical purposes, direct save DC boosting - as opposed to the indirect boost offered by ASIs - isn't a thing at all in 5th Edition...)

Thanks.
