As you utter the spell incantation, your hand becomes surrounded by a powerful, hissing, purple-black aura that smells of death. At spell completion, you point your index finger at a creature you can see within range, transferring the aura from your hand to the target and sending negative energy coursing through it, causing it searing pain. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 7d8+30 Necrotic Damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
A Humanoid killed by this spell rises at the start of your next turn as a zombie that is permanently under your command, following your verbal orders to the best of its ability.
