5E Compendium Unknown Spells?

1498493365

Edited 1498493436
I apologize if this is common knowledge, but I did some searching and didn't find anything right away, so I thought I'd start my own thread. I've been using Roll20 for some time, but never explored the Compendium. I find its use for spells very helpful to reduce tons of typing, in particular. However... where are some of these spells coming from? Arcane Sword, Arcanist's Magic Aura, Arcane Hand? These are spells I can't seem to find from any published source, nor anywhere online except for the Roll20 Compendium. Can anyone confirm where these are coming from or if they are considered more or less "legal" to use? I'm combing through to see if I can find anymore and not having any luck at a spot check, but it does seem odd... I know there have been very preliminary discussions for having DM's Guild material enter into the SRD, but that hasn't taken off yet, has it?

They are specifically from the SRD.&nbsp;<a href="http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/SRD-OGL_V5.1.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/SRD-OGL_V5.1.pdf</a>
If you look at the descriptions they are identical to certain "named" spells in the PHB. The names are not open source thus they are changed for the SRD.

I had no idea that there were any extra spells included in the SRD yet not included in the PHB or any other publication. Thanks.

They are not extra, they are renamed versions of PHB spells without the "branding".
