Converting D&D Spells

After designing my power creation guidelines in Savage Abilities, I decided to test their versatility by converting various D&D spells (converting the flavour rather than the mechanics). I also thought the spells might prove useful for my Savage War of the Burning Sky conversion, as the original Adventure Path was designed for D&D and made frequent references to specific spells.

I got part way through the level 2 spells before losing interest - yes, they could be converted, but I increasingly felt that I was trying to shoehorn the spells, particularly as I'd been hoping to balance them so that their PP cost was the same as their spell level.

However I thought it might be worth posting my notes, rather than leave them on my hard drive to rot. If nothing else, it's a reasonable proof-of-concept for my power creation guidelines, and shows how different spells can be built.
