You can cast this spell only at night. Choose up to 10 corpses of Medium or Small humanoids within range. Each corpse becomes a wight or mummy under your control.
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 of you 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. You can give it orders such as go find a particular person if you know were they are, or to do more complex things.
The creature is under your control for 24-hour, 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 creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating new ones.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a 9th-level spell slot, you can animate or reassert control over 15 wights or mummys, or 10 revinents or wraiths, or 1 mummy lord or death knight.

Posted Jan 9, 2021This is a bit overpowered you obviously couldn't use this in a campaign unless your doing a necromancer one-shot or something, but I thought it would be fun to make.
