Ghoulcaller’s Chant

Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. You perform a brief ritual that imbues the target with a weak semblance of life, turning it into 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). Choose a simple command, less than 30 words in length. The undead creature performs the command to the best of its ability for the duration of the spell or until the task is complete. If you issue no command, the creature takes no action until given a command. Once the spell ends or once its task is complete, the magic animating the creature fades, and it becomes a corpse or pile of bones once more. When you cast this spell, you can choose two targets, but only if both have already been animated by this spell once before.   At Higher Levels When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the duration of the spell’s effect increases. At 3rd level, the duration becomes 1 hour, and at 5th level, the duration becomes 24 hours. At 7th level or higher, the spell’s effects last until it is dispelled.
