Create Dread

You can cast this spell only at night. Using the bones of a dead humanoid and a zendalure gemstone worth at least 1,000 gold pieces the form of a pair of skeletal arms from small- to medium-sized Humanoids.

As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can mentally command any dread you create with this spell if the creature is within 120 feet of you (if you control multiple dreads, 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.
