You target a medium or small corpse that still has flesh on its bones, rotting or otherwise. That creature reanimates, becoming a zombie.

The zombie pursues and attacks the closest living thing it can detect. If more than one enemy is the same distance from the zombie, it will choose one at random or prioritize one that's attacking it, changing targets if its attacked by another creature at the same distance (if it's attacked by something thats farther than the closest creature, it will still pursue the closest, even if that creature isn't attacking it). For exactly ten seconds, you are undetectable by the zombie, after which you will be fair game in its ravenous rampage.

As a bonus action on your turn, if you're within 10 feet of the zombie, you can wave your hand to dismiss the spell, dispelling the magic from the body and leaving it inanimate once more. The zombie will also become inanimate if the spell ends in any other way.

At higher levels - When you cast this spell with a 2nd-level or higher spell slot, the range increases by 10 feet and you can target one additional corpse for each level.beyond the first.

At level 4, the zombie(s) will no longer attack you, and at level 7, the zombie(s) will no longer attack you or anyone you mentally deem an ally.
