This spell captures an Undead created by another Necromancer. Choose an Undead within range that is Challenge Level of 5 or lower. The target becomes an enslaved Undead under the control of the Caster. The Undead must make a WIS Save vs. the spell DC or fall under the control of the Caster.
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature captured with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.
The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you've given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four creatures you have captures.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, you can control or reassert control over two additional undead creatures for each slot level above 7th.
