This spell creates two undead servants. You must target two piles of bones of two humanoid creaures. Your spell fills them with foul necromantic energy, raising them as undead creatures. When you cast the spell you choose to turn them into fire skeletons or frost skeletons.
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, 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 creatures are under your control for 24 hours, after which they stops obeying any command you've given them. To maintain control of the creatures for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creatures again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level you animate two additional undead creatures. For every level above fourth you also reassert your control over 2 additional undeads.
Each of the creatures must come from a different pile of bones.
* - (a drop of blood from a fresh cut, a pinch of bone dust and a piece of coal and an ice cube which the spell consumes)
