Spell Description
Touch one inanimate corpse. You raise it to a state of undeath. It has the stats of a Death Soldier, appearing in an unoccupied space adjacent to you.

It follows the rules of a summoned creature. Roll 1d20 + your magic attribute; the death soldier follows your unspoken commands for that many minutes. It acts immediately after you in combat while following your commands.

Once the death soldier is no longer magically obligated to follow your commands, it gains autonomy. If you make a compelling case or if your goals align with the death soldier’s goals, then it might continue to travel with you, but acts on its own Initiative and does not necessarily follow your commands (which must be spoken at this point).

A death soldier’s personality vaguely reflects the personality of the creature in life, before it became a corpse. A death soldier will gravitate towards the darker aspects of its previous personality and is guaranteed to develop bloodthirsty or otherwise cruel tendencies.
