Out of the earth before you, you summon a skeleton in response to an incoming attack. This creature is automatically hit by the attack which triggered this spell.
If the creature survives this hit, it acts on your next turn. During your turn, you can use a bonus action to mentally command it if the creature is within 60 feet of you. You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its turn, or you can issue a general command. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until it crumbles back into dust at the end of your next turn.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can summon two skeletons instead of one.
* - when another creature makes an attack roll against you ** - (a pinch of bone dust and an ounce of lead in the shape of a shield)
