[RPG] way (other than using a wish spell) for a Wizard to cast Ranger spells

dnd-5espells

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.

*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
