This spell can only be cast at night. Choose a
corpse, or a number or corpses, within range that
are equivalent to the size of the creature you are
animating (the GM will determine how many
corpses are required). Your spell imbues the target
with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead
creature. You may choose for the target to become
an undead creature of CR 3 or lower (the GM has
the creature’s game statistics).
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action
to mentally command any creature you made
with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of
you. (If you control multiple creatures, you can
command any or all of them at the same time,
issuing the same command to each one.) You
decide what action the creature will take and
where it will move during its next turn, or you
can issue a general command, such as to guard
a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue
no commands, the creature only defends itself
against hostile creatures. Once given an order,
the creature continues to follow it until its task
is complete. The creature is under your control
for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any
command you’ve given it.
To maintain control of the creature for another
24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature
again before the current 24-hour period ends.
This use of the spell reasserts your control over
1 creature you have animated with this spell,
rather than animating a new one. Any creature
you have maintained with this spell for 30 days
remains permanently under your control. You
may only control a maximum of four creatures
with this spell.
