Animate Legion

You send gathered necrotic energy cascading into the ground around you, and seconds later corpses

within the area start to twitch and drag themselves to their feet. You choose a number of corpses within

range equal to your spellcasting ability modifier and animate them, as if with the animate dead spell.

Treat these animated corpses as zombies, with the following exceptions. The zombies follow your

commands to the best of their ability but are not intelligent and take things very literally. Each

zombie’s initiative is the same as yours, but its turn does not take place until yours ends. If you do not

issue a new command to the zombie, it will continue to follow any previous orders if possible,

otherwise it takes the dodge action. Undead animated by this spell cannot be turned. When

reduced to 0 hit points or after the spell ends, each zombie turns back into a lifeless corpse.
