Animate Construct

This spell creates an construct servant. Choose a pile of stone, metal or wood within range. Your spell imbues the target with a mimicry of life, raising it as a construct. The target uses the stat block of a Zombie or Skeleton but is a construct.

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any and all creature(s) you made with this spell if the creature(s) is within 60 feet of you.. 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 constructs again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four constructs you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you animate or reassert control over two additional constructs  for each slot level above 3rd.
