Touch a corpse or willing creature. The target becomes a host: a willing creature can choose to no longer be a host and cannot be recontroled. A corpse cannot escape from the spell but will still rot.
Only objects with sentience (such as a living dagger) can use this spell. Normal creatures cannot use this spell, but if someone gets turned into a sentient object and use this spell during this time, then they remain control of corpses or (at higher spell slots) magical constructs.
Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot (6+). Corpses will manifest into magic, no longer rotting and allowing the host to change. This form lasts for 24 hours before becoming a corpse again but taking any length rest will give back the ability to make it magic again. If you take a long rest during this form, roll a D20 to see if the effect lasts permanently, gains time, or stays the same (20 to make it last permanently, 10 or greater to gain time, below 10 for no change.)
(Note: this is my first ever homebrew material, sorry if there are any mistakes! I'm completely new to DnD and will be doing my first session soon so I hope this is balanced... I am also completely open to criticism)
* - (A corpse or willing subject, a gram of salt, and a pinch of half-melted metal of any kind.)
