A dragon's soul trapped in a ring of mind shielding wants a new body; what magic could enable her to do so?
$begingroup$
In my D&D 5e campaign, the characters fought and defeated a young dragon of mixed white and silver lineage, and found a ring of mind shielding on her body. Her original body was destroyed. Unbeknownst to them, her soul has been preserved in the ring and hungers for a way to find a new body.
She is now conversing on a daily basis with the new wearer of the ring and is trying to influence him towards a way that would enable her to achieve corporeal form again. She would prefer a dragon body, but she is also used to assuming humanoid form (from her silver lineage), so that would be acceptable.
What magic documented in any of the official rule books could enable her to find a new physical form? Spells, magic items, or magical phenomenon such as a pool of radiance are all acceptable answers.

If the body was destroyed, the dragon's only real options are Wish and True Resurrection. All other revival and resurrection spells require a body.
The dragon can theoretically manipulate the player wielding the ring, but that's not really acquiring a new body.

I would avoid the word "dominate", since in a D&D context it is associated with magic that takes complete control of someone, which I don't think is what you're implying here. Perhaps "manipulate" instead? Also I think you meant "ring" instead of "spell".

The dragon can't cast spells as a soul in a ring (no mouth to speak, no hands to move, no materials to use). Regardless of how she accomplishes it, those two spells are the only way to regenerate a body. (as far as I know)
