Animate Vessel

This spell creates a mindless vessel, fueled by arcane power. Target any creature who's CR is equal to half your character's level. The total number of vessels you may command is also equal to half your character's level. This creature is transformed into a zombie version of that creature.

These creatures are useful for labor and general defense. They lack the mental ability to undertake more complex orders. Due to the unique nature of their creation, these vessels can only be used for the defense the casters home, prevention of damage or theft of the caster's property, according to the Dm's Discretion. This spell must be fixed to an arcane source. 

 The Vessel can stay animated as long as this spell is cast once every 7 days otherwise the vessel's body disintegrates.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the number of Vessels you may raise increases by 1 per spell level.
