Create Undead

This spell can only be cast at night. Choose up to three corpses of Small or Medium humanoids within range of the spell. Each body becomes a ghast under your control (the Game Master has the statistics for these creatures). These creatures act at the end of your turn.

As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can give a mental command to any creature animated by you, if it is within 120 feet of you (if you control several creatures, you can command any or all of them at once, as long as the same command is given to each). 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 guarding a chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature simply defends itself from hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until the task is complete.

It remains under your command for 24 hours, after which it no longer obeys any command you gave it. To keep control for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the control period ends.

This use of the spell reaffirms your control over up to three undead animated by you with this spell, instead of animating others.
