Up to five Small or Medium corpses you can see within 60 feet immediately stand up and become undead. You decide whether each is a zombie or a skeleton. Each gains a bonus to its attack and damage rolls equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
Each turn you can use a Bonus Action to issue a single set of commands (using normal action economy) to all of the corpses animated by this spell. To receive the command, the creature must be within 60 feet of you. If you issue no commands, the creatures do not move and defend themselves against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creatures continue to follow it until their task is complete.
The creatures disanimate when the spell ends or when they are reduced to 0 HP.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you animate up to two additional corpses for each slot level above 5th.
