Brief Return

Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within sight, that has been slain within the last minute. Your spell springs a brief moment of life within the target, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse (the GM has the creature's game statistics). The creature stays under your command, taking a turn after your own. It then crumbles to ash at the end of that turn and can't be reanimated again.

The number of remains that can reanimated by this spell increases by 1 when you reach 5th level (2), 11th level (3), and 17th level (4).
