You hit a creature with one of your hands or a melee weapon, (you can use strength or your spellcasting modifier for this action), when you hit the enemy, you add 8d6 to the damage as you make a gauntlet of necrotic energy around your fist/and or weapon, if the target dies from this/is dropped to 0 hit points, they rise as a skeleton under the casters control 3 rounds later.
