This story is to add a new source for all spells from the 5e SRD 5.1 document (there was an update from the original SRD in ~2016 I believe, hence the .1). The work for this is being done in the dnd5.5 branch. The first commit there has adjusted the source PHB to be PHB 2014 in preparation for One D&D / 5.5e / 2024 content. The first batch of spells has also been updated to have the SRD source added to them.

The new source should look like this:

			{
				"name": "SRD (5.1)",
				"page": "114"
			},

This is the SRD PDF for reference.

Use this alongside the 2014 PHB (so not D&D Beyond digital, use a physical book or PDF online like AnyFlip).

For every spell in the SRD, find the corresponding entry in the src/api/spells.json and add the source as per above, noting the page number "printed" on the PDF (this matches the file's page number too, but depending on your scroll position can be off-by-one).

Not every PHB spell is available in the SRD. Some SRD spells are named differently—for example, the PHB's Bigby's Hand is SRD's Arcane Hand. Add "alt": "The other name" into the SRD source object in these cases.

The first commit has finished spells alphabetically A–D. While you don't need to do complete letters in a sitting, do only commit finished letters. Message your commits in this form: "Add SRD 5.1 source information for spells F-H" This will help track what needs to be done.


Old notes, but worth going over once initial work is done to make sure all spells listed have the correct sources.

All of these would need to be double checked.

Old notes gone over, nothing to do. PHB items with special names have been handled with SRD variants.
