This spell creates an undead servant. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Large humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The target uses the Minotaur Skeleton statblock (Monster Manual p. 273) or the Ogre Zombie statblock (Monster Manual p. 316).
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any 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, 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.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you animate or reassert control over two additional undead creatures for every 2 slot levels above 4th. Each of the creatures must come from a different corpse or pile of bones.
* - (a large pile of bones or a large corpse)
