Is there a way (other than using a wish spell) for a Wizard to cast Ranger spells?

Question

Using a wish spell you can duplicate any other spell of 8th level or lower.

However..

That's a pretty high lv spell for gaining the use of a 1-5 level Ranger spell. I couldn't find a version of limited wish. And the feat Magic Initiate doesn't seem to apply to Ranger's spells.

Is there another way to cast 1 or 2 Ranger spells without dipping into the Ranger class? Specifically I am looking at Conjure Barrage and Swift Quiver. Mostly because I think it would be cool to launch a ton of darts like a Naruto style Ninja...and it would be unexpected from my wizard.

Worth noting we only use the hardcover books. No UA or 3rd party stuff please.

Answer 1

*CHANGING SPELL LISTS

Modifying a class's spell list usually has little effect on a character's power but can change the flavor of a class significantly. In your world, paladins might not swear their oaths to ideals, but instead swear fealty to powerful sorcerers. To capture this story concept, you could build a new paladin spell list with spells meant to protect their masters, drawn from the sorcerer or wizard lists. Suddenly, the paladin feels like a different class. Be cautious when changing the warlock spell list. Since warlocks regain their spell slots after a short rest, they have the potential to use certain spells more times in a day than other classes do. *

DMG pg 285. Emphasis mine

So with your DM's permission, a wizard could have easy access to the ranger spells you want, with little or no change to balance

Answer 2

This'll only work if you have a Ranger in your party (or you know a friendly one who is willing to help out from time to time) but a Ring of Spell Storing allows anyone to cast anything from the Ring.

The only thing is the Ring needs to be loaded with spells from time to time, which is why you need a friendly Ranger to refuel your spells.

It won't allow you to use your own spell slots though.

Answer 3

The Bard's Magical Secrets feature allows them to learn spells from any class. You can use it to learn Conjure Barrage and/or Swift Quiver at level 10, or at level 6 if you choose the College of Lore archetype.

If you just want to launch darts like Naruto, you could refluff Magic Missile to have it be shuriken instead of magical missiles. Or find something else to refluff.

If you can convince your DM, there was a UA School of Lore Mastery for Wizard that lets you cast from any spell list once per long rest, at level 14. Not much better than using Wish, but definitely better.

Here's a complete list of options for learning spells from other lists. That said, only Magical Secrets will work for you, and there are no archetypes I know of that include those spells in their modified lists either. Other than that you are out of luck.
