Ventriloquism

You weave the threads of necromancy to create a puppet from a fallen creature, as such you may imbue it with a modicum of life you can use remotely. As an action you touch the body of a creature of a medium or small size, for a period of a minute whilst you are within 10 feet of the body as a bonus action you can make it claw at a nearby creature you can see. This body rolls to hit using your spellcasting modifier and deals 1d4 slashing damage plus your spellcasting modifier. A body animated in this manner cannot move of its own accord, additionally if the body takes damage equal or above your spell casting modifier the spell ends and it cannot be raised in this manner again unless repaired.

When cast at a level of 2 or higher you may animate an additional body within 10 for each spell slot above second level used.
