• Undead of challenge rating 1 or lower - 4 Points
• Undead of challenge rating 1/2 or lower - 3 Points

Roll initiative for the undead as a group with a +0 bonus, which has its own turns. The undead creatures are friendly to you and your companions as long as you are within 60 feet. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to them or your orders have been fulfilled, they attack creatures other than you indiscriminately unless ordered not to. At the end of its duration commit another spell slot to maintain control. otherwise you can choose to end the spell before the time and the undead will disintegrate. If you do not forcibly end the spell before the duration ends you will lose control of the creatures and they will attack anything within sight including the caster.
