Stoneskin - loose concentration or the target gets advantage on Con saves as well.Dispel Evil & Good - needs the full effects of Protection from E & G, plus needs to affect more creature types.Eneveration - make it a bonus action to maintain every turn.Immolation - make it target up to four creatures the caster can see in range.Negative Energy Flood - make it a line effect that can hit more than one creature.Flesh to Stone - remove concentration.  The fail x before succeeding on y mechanic is sufficient.Investiture Of spells - need to be bonus action to do the special attacks the spells grant.Tenser's Transformation - loose concentration, add caveat that subject cannot maintain concentration on effects while spell is in operation.Mordenkanin's Sword - so much needs to be done here.Prismatic Spray - damage needs to be upped.  It's really only good if a target gets hit by multiple rays.Regeneration - duration needs to be 8 hours, can also be ended early to get the effects of a Greater Restoration.Ali-Dalzim’s Horrid Wilting - targets that fail save have disadvantage on attacks and ability checks for one minute in addition to damage.  Save every round to end effect.Demiplane - so much, not sure how though.Power Word ... - for Kill, targets above threshold get 100 physic damage.  Other Words just offer an initial save to targets above the threshold.Timestop - casting time changed to reactionWeird - same as Phantasmal Killer. Still weak for 9th level spell.</blockquote>
