You envision a creature or group of creatures. All creatures killed by the target(s) are temporarilly returned to the living world. Only dead creatures that have been dead for no more than a century can be returned. If the souls are free and willing, they return as a spectral undead, and if bones, flesh or blood of the dead creature in question is present, it is consumed to allow the creature to come back with a physical body, becoming a wight, vampire or even a dead knight in case of humanoids, and stranger undead for monsters.
If the dead was particularly accomplished in magic, if might return with some of it's spells known in life and some available spellslots to cast them.
The dead, now returned, are encouraged to take up arms against their killers, if their feelings of vengeance aren't sufficient. On top of that, they avoid targeting the caster and their chosen allies, but are otherwise unbothered by collateral damage. After ten days, the dead leave the material world once more.
* - ((optional) bones of the dead, flesh of the dead, blood of the dead, which the spell consumes)
