Spells similar to Arcane Vigor
False Life 1st-level necromancy
Both are low-level, self-targeted spells that grant immediate hit point benefit to the caster without ongoing concentration.
Healing Word 1st-level abjuration
Healing Word is a bonus-action heal, so it matches Arcane Vigor's tactical niche of quick, off-turn restoration even though it targets others and is on a different class list.
Aid 2nd-level abjuration
Aid is an abjuration heal-like spell at the same level that boosts hit points, making it a close functional and thematic match despite affecting multiple creatures.
Prayer of Healing 2nd-level abjuration
This is another level-2 option focused on restoring hit points, so players weighing when to use a 2nd-level slot will see similar trade-offs.
Aura of Life 4th-level abjuration
Aura of Life is a higher-level abjuration that protects and restores life, sharing the same school and a similar role in keeping allies (or self) on their feet.
