You throw the rat fur into the air and point at an unoccupied space on the ground with the rat's tail. The fur congregates at the space chosen and immediately grows into a Swarm of Bone Rats.
You can use a bonus action to mentally command the creatures you make with this spell, issuing the same command to all of them. To receive the command, a creature must be within 60 feet of you. You decide what action the creatures will take and where they will move during their next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a chamber or passageway against your foes. If you issue no commands, the creatures do nothing except defend themselves against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creatures continue to follow it until their task is complete.
The creatures are under your control until the spell ends, after which the swarms turn to dust.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you animate one additional swarm for each slot level above 1st. All swarms are initially animated in the same space.
