Create Spellplagued Undead

This spell was inscribed into the Book of Vile Darkness by the servant of a powerful entity of evil. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as a spellplagued undead creature permanently under your control. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse (the DM has the creature’s game statistics).

Upon completing the spell, the newly risen undead is imbued with a portion of your life force and magical ability, and gains the following traits:

• False Life: The undead adds half your max HP to its own in the form of Temporary Hit Points that last until they are depleted by taking damage. The undead can also choose to expend one of its spell slots as a bonus action on its turn to heal 1d8 hit points per level of the expended slot.
• Magic Resistance: The undead has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
• Spellcasting: The undead is a 3rd level spell caster. Its spellcasting ability is the same as yours, and uses your spell save DC and spell attack bonus for all its spells. Upon creating the undead, you choose up to four cantrips, four 1st level spells, and two 2nd level spells which you have prepared, and grant your servant the ability to use them.

If another humanoid is slain by your spellplagued undead, it rises as another spellplagued under your control after 1 hour. The new spellplagued undead has the same spells prepared as the spellplagued undead that killed it, and gains the full benefit of its False Life trait.
