Undead Puppet

s spell creates an undead puppet for you to control. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with foul energies that you can manipulate, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse. The creature takes its turns immediately after yours.

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command the creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you. You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn. Issuing a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor, has no effect. If you issue no commands, the creature does nothing.

Once the spell ends, the creature goes back to being an inanimate corpse or pile of bones.

At Higher Levels. You can animate an additional corpse for each spell slot level above 2nd. As a bonus action on your turn, you can issue a single command to any number of undead you have animated via this spell.
