Temporarily Summon Undead Familiar

The caster raises their hands upwards and summons an undead creature which had a CR of 1/4 the caster's level or below while it was alive. The summoned creature must have died within a 90 foot radius of the user (it does not have to be buried, only to have died there) at least 6 months ago. The caster can also make a few specific requests about what the creature should look like, when it died, etc.. If those requests cannot be met, a random creature will still be summoned. This creature can engage in 3 turns of battle on the side of the caster (not including the turn it was summoned) and will return to where it died. At any point, the caster can attempt to bond with an undead creature summoned this way, making it their only creature to be summoned using this spell until it is dismissed from service.

This spell can be used once per combat encounter.
