Ancestral Totem

You call forth an aspect of an ancestor spirit. It manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. This corporeal form uses the Ghost stat block. The spirit resembles a shadowy creature vaguely resembling one of your ancestors. The creature speaks as though in a confused, dream-like state, and only in short, incomplete, or cryptic phrases. As such, it does not respond to the caster's questions but obeys the caster's commands. The creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The creature is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger.

If the creature is within 5ft of you and is not incapacitated or blinded, it grants you a +1 to your AC
