You call out to the departing soul of a recently deceased creature and impose your will upon it, binding the soul back to it’s husk of a body and forcing it to fight for you. The creature can be up to CR 3, and must be small or larger.
The creature retains all the same stats and abilities it did in it’s former life, aside from the ability to cast spells. The creature can suffer no damage and can not be killed while transformed into a revenant soul. As a revenant soul, you can give the creature one short command no longer than three words, which the revenant soul must obey until the task is completed, or until the spell wears off. After either of these conditions are met, the revenant soul will disintegrate into a pile of ash, along with any nonmagical items it was carrying.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell at a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the duration of this spell increases by 1 round (or 6 seconds) for each slot level above 2nd.
