So I have these parasites in my game that more or less act like symbiotes. The problem I'm having is figuring out what special abilities they could grant for specific classes, a wizard (War mage), a fighter (Rune Knight), and a barbarian (Path of the Ancestral Guardian). I'm open to any suggestions you guys might have!
the symbiote blocks out the barbarians spirits and replaces them with the symbiote hive mind, making their powers darker and toothy while teh symbiote is up

The RUne Knights runes are now bits of the symbiote attached to the weapons or armor. Gives a bonus to Ac or damage and can allow for more rune variants.

Consider the Dragonmarks from Eberron. Or Piety from Theros.
Both give nice power paths and incentives to lean into them.
Using an existing system, with your custom tweaks, is going to be a lot easier and just as fun for players.
You could also try the Symbiotic Being dark gift from van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft
