It's been awhile, so my knowledge is out dated. I seem to remember (perhaps it was Pathfinder) that there was a time when you could make spells permanent (ie fly, dark vision, etc). Did 5th edition D&D have this?
Not in a blanket way, though some spells do say in their description how they can be made permanent (usually by casting them on the same space/thing every day for a year). Mostly this sort of thing is now left up to DM choice as there isn't really any rules governing it.

Permanency does not exist in 5e without homebrew. Some spells like Forbiddance can become permanent by following the instructions given in the spell's description.

You don't know what fear is until you've witnessed a drunk bird divebombing you while carrying a screaming Kobold throwing fire anywhere and everywhere.

I think there was a high level spell in 3.5 that would make the effect of a low level spell permanent. I'll see if I can hunt it down

Yes, Permanency spell 3.5 that was the spell I was thinking about. Thank You.
I guess not much in 5e is permanent (except death and taxes) - and innate abilities and warlock eldritch invocations! lol
It’s up to your DM if you can make a spell effect permanent. I would allow it, but I’d make it extremely difficult. You’d earn it!
