Type: Necromancy
Casting Time: 1 post
Level: Novice
Description: This spell creates an undead servant. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse (Stats equal to the power of this spell, it is unable to use magic.). On each of your turns, you can mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 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, 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 7 posts, after which it stops obeying any command you’ve given it and becomes hostile to all living creatures.

The clone is physically identical to the original and has the same personality, memories, and abilities, but none of the original’s equipment.
