Spells similar to Fount of Moonlight
Fire Shield 4th-level evocation
It's the same level, a self-targeted evocation that provides defensive benefits and damages attackers as a reactive effect, mirroring the defensive-and-retaliatory feel.
Armor of Agathys 1st-level abjuration
Although lower level, it is a self buff that grants protection and hurts melee attackers in retaliation, making it conceptually very close.
Crusader's Mantle 3rd-level evocation
This spell adds radiant damage to weapon attacks from a self-centered source, which matches the offensive boost to melee strikes in the target spell.
Divine Favor 1st-level transmutation
It is a simple self buff that adds extra radiant damage to your attacks, directly comparable to the extra radiant damage component here.
Protection from Energy 3rd-level abjuration
Like the target spell, it grants resistance to a damage type for a duration using concentration, aligning with the defensive portion of the effect.
