Animate Limb

To preform this dark ritual you must select a corpse of a Medium or Small evil humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with dark magics as the soul begins to bind to a body part. As the ritual completes, the target's hand becomes a crawling claw or a stomping foot if you chose a foot (the GM has the creature's game statistics).

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made 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, however complex commands cannot be followed like killing a specific target. It can be ordered however to kill all people in a certain area. 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. If left too long without a command (a day) the murderous hand will begin to mimic what it did in life, starting to murder creatures around it (see the crawling claws description).

While relatively easy to learn, this ritual is considered taboo due to the nature of the creature it summons forth.

The creature is under your control indefinitely, however you lose control of all creatures created by these rituals if it becomes a swarm.
