You can cast this spell only at night. Choose one drawing of a Medium or Small creature within range. That drawing rises off the page, becoming a Caligrophage in the form of the image drawn.

As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can mentally command any creature you animated with this spell if the creature is within 120 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.

The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you have given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to three creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating new ones.

On every subsequent casting of this spell after the first, summoned creatures are allowed a Wisdom saving throw to resist the controlling effects. Any who are successful become enraged by the attempt, and attack the caster immediately.
