Preserver Spells

Blood & Bone is name I'm giving to Dark Sun like campaign I'll be running using old school rules.

Preservers are the "clerics" of Blood and Bone. Their magic is passive, protective, restorative and tinged by elemental themes. Preservers worship elemental forces, embodied by spirits who inhabit. I've adapted  Swords and Wizardry, OD&D retro-clone, so spells descriptions are vague one-liners. But using any edition's Cleric's spells would work as well, just remove or modify undead/holy related spells and remove most high impact (damage) spells.
