5th-level Spell: Corpse Puppets

Sorcery/Whispering (Necromancy)

Jagged, dark threads of magic jump from your fingertips, connecting to five Tiny, Small or Medium corpses of CR 1/4 or higher that you can see within range. Each corpse immediately transforms into an Undead creature of the same size, which takes your choice of form (Skeleton or Zombie) using the Corpse Puppet stat block below.
The puppets are allies to you and your companions. In combat, they share your initiative count, but take their turns immediately after yours. As a bonus action, you can issue one command to any number of puppets within the spell's range. If you don't issue a command, they take the Dodge action and use their move to avoid danger.
The puppets are under your control until the spell ends, after which they become inanimate once more.

• At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you animate up to two additional corpses for each slot level above 5th.
