Materials the corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid, and a 2-carat black diamond worth 500 gp, which the spell consumes

You can cast this spell only at night. Choose the corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. The corpse becomes a ghoul 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 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.
When the spell ends, the target returns to being a corpse. You can cast this spell on the target again before the spell ends to reset the duration and maintain the target's animation.
At the end of each week that the target spends under the effects of this spell, the target suffers a soul scar.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell at 7th level or higher, the duration of the spell increased by 24 hours for each level above 6th.
