You infuse a pile of bones or a fallen corpse within range with necrotic energy animating it as an undead servant under your control. The type of undead raised by this spell is capped by the level of slot you use.
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 up to four creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.

Enhancement: For each spell slot used higher than the 1rst level, the challenge ratings of the undead you can summon increase by one step for each slot level above 1rst.
