You can cast this spell only at night. Choose up to three corpses of Medium or Small humanoids within range. Each corpse becomes a ghoul under your control. (The GM has game statistics for these creatures.)
As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can mentally command any creature you animated with this spell if the creature is within 120 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 permanently. This spell can only be used to control a number of creatures equal to half your caster level. Creatures created by other spells do not count towards this limit, nor do creatures created by this spell require renewal with Animate Dead or Create Undead. If you cast Eternal Servant in such a way as to create an 11th, the spell fails, expending the spell slot.
