You attempt to beguile a humanoid that you can see within range. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw at disadvantage or be charmed by you for the duration.
While the target is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." or as complex as the intelligence of the creature would allow. If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.
You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.
Each month and or if forced to do something greatly against its moral code, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw against the spell. If the saving throw succeeds, the creature is free of your control for 1d8-1 days. As a reaction to it breaking free you can expend an eighth level spell slot to make it another wisdom saving throw, if it fails it falls back under your control. If you expend a ninth level spell slot it falls back under your control with no saving throw and cannot make another saving throw for one month.
