This spell reanimates a corpse with a fraction of your essence. The corpse must be a Medium or Small humanoid and have only been dead for less than 12 hours. You can control the body as if it were yours, from its perspective. When you do so, your actual body remains dormant. The animated corpse you control appears healed of any wounds and you gain access to the memories of the corpse and appear as if you are the person you control, understanding their personality and knowing any languages they speak and sound like them. You use their stat block.
The creature is under your control for 1 hour, after which it turns to ash and you must succeed a series of death saving throws to return to your own body. If you fail, you die. You can return to your own body before the end of the spell. If the body dies before the spell ends, go through the death saving throws to return to your body.
* - (a drop of your blood and a pinch of bone dust)
