This spell creates an undead animal servant. Your spell summons the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton or a zombie.
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 creature is under your control until dismissed, and it returns to its dead form.
The longer it is undead the weaker the creature is in strength and hit points.
