Erandreg's Tome of Forbidden Arcana

A collection of new, sinister 5th Edition spells contained within a dark, forbidden tome. From Hithind's Devouring Worm to Simbeline's Inescapable Malady to Soul Shackle, these nine spells over a rage of levels for sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards. By Brandes Stoddard; illustrated by Sade.

I know this is old, and maybe I missed it, but I noticed that the spell Ghost Aegis is on the spell list, but it's not in this document at all.

In the blurb, "These nine spells over a RAGE of levels."

Some interesting ideas here, but I find the wording of the spells at times vague and often departing from 5E terminology. E.g.: "sentient target", "recently-slain corpse", "recently-slain body", "helpless target" (unconscious? incapacitated? petrified? paralyzed?). Some appear OP when comparing the damage output to the Spell Damage table in the DMG (remember: the table assumes the spell deals half damage on a successful saving throw). Flesh Graft for example allows no saving throw and deals 6d8 damage + half that amount worth of healing to an ally. Looking at the DMG table, a 3rd level spell should deal around 5d10 damage *but* with a saving throw for half damage. Healing 3d10 worth of hit points requires a 2nd level spell in itself. Keeping in line with the DMG spell damage and healing guideline then, Flesh Graft should be at least a 5th level spell. (And that's only one balance issue example).

On pg 5 - List of New Spells - 6th level spell "Death Worm" should be "Hithind’s Devouring Worm"
