Effect

Choose one undead creature you can see within range that is not under another creature’s sovereign control.

The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against:

Your Spell Save DC + the level of the spell slot used

Can be Ritual cast taking 10 Min

Saving Throw Modifiers

• Mindless undead: Disadvantage on the save
• Semi-intelligent undead: Normal roll
• Intelligent undead: Advantage on the save

On a Failed Save

• The target is under your control for the duration

Permanent Control

If the target remains under your control for the full duration:

• You may spend 10 minutes reaffirming control
• The creature becomes permanently bound to you

Permanent undead:

• Fall under Sovereign of the Grave
• Count toward your control limit and CR budget

CR Limitation

You may only target undead within your spell’s CR limit:

Binding Requirements (By CR)

The condition required to attempt control depends on the target’s CR:

CR 0–1

• Can be targeted at full health
• No weakening required

CR 2–4

• Must be reduced to 50% of its maximum hit points or lower

CR 5

• Must be reduced to 40% of its maximum hit points or lower

CR 6

• Must be reduced to 30% of its maximum hit points or lower

CR 7 and Above

• Must be reduced to 0 hit points before it can be targeted for permanent binding

Limitations

• You may target only one undead per cast
• You cannot control undead currently under another creature’s sovereign control
• If such an undead is killed, it may then be targeted normally
• The creature must remain under your control for the full duration and then control solidified to become permanent
• You cannot exceed your Sovereign of the Grave control limit or CR budget

Notes

• This spell is your primary method of capturing existing undead
• Stronger undead require weakening before control
• Higher CR undead represent greater resistance to domination
• Once bound, undead remain permanently under your control unless destroyed
