'Cure Wounds' = 1d8+1/Level?
What If? kinda idea; just a single 'Cure' Spell, 1st Level, which becomes progressively more potent with XP. Healers could 'swap out' any other Spell for a Cure, but for 1d8+1/Spell Level?

d100 Computer Generated Spell Names
So, a research scientist named Janelle Shane "trained a neural network" to create D&D-esque Spell names, check it out here . I compiled the various lists, made some grammatical and spelling amendments, deleted some unworkable entries, and then - to keep the random/weird vibe - replaced certain 'invented' words with the most intriguing suggestions from the Microsoft Word dictionary. Finally, I chose the 'best' entries for a d100 table.
I plan to use the resulting 100 Spells whenever I need a 'new' Spell, or a Scroll, etc. Figure I'll just roll when the opportunity presents, and make up the particulars on the fly, should be fun!
