This spell creates an undead servant. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. However, its appearance is that of an anime character. The undead creature is still visibly undead, but may feature clothing or hair typically associated with a anime protagonist or antagonist. The target becomes a Minotaur Skeleton if you chose bones or a greater zombie if you chose a corpse (the GM has the creature's game statistics).
On each of your turns, 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 1 hour, after which you roll a d4 and one of the following takes place: on a 1: the creature disappears. on a 2: it stops obeying any command you've given it and runs away. It is not hostile towards you. on a 3: it becomes hostile towards you and attacks. On a 4: You are able to maintain control of the creature for another hour. To do this you must cast this spell on the creature again. 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.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you can animate two additional undead creatures, either a skeleton or zombie for each slot level above 5th. Each of the creatures must come from a different corpse or pile of bones.
