Control Dead

Choose a corpse of a Medium or Small Humanoid within range. The target becomes an Undead creature e.g. Zombie with the stats of the formerly living humanoid.

On each of your turns, you can take a Action to mentally command the creature you made with this spell if you are in physical contact with the creature (if you attempt to control multiple creatures, previous uses of the spell are automatically dispelled). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move on its next turn. If you issue no commands, the creature will stay still accept for an "Idle animation". The creature acts and an extension of your body with all conditions experienced by the creature also being experienced by you.

The creature is under your control until the creature is incapacitated or the spell is dispelled, after which it stops obeying any command you’ve given it. To regain control of the creature, you must cast this spell on the creature again within a 24-hour period (at the end of this period the creature ceases being undead and becomes a corpse, this corpse can never be controlled by this spell again). This use of the spell reasserts your control over the creature you have animated with this spell.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. Casting this spell using a higher-level spell slot above level 2, allows you to make this a ranged spell with a range of 10ft and an additional 10ft per level above 2.
