Undead Servant (Wizard Spell)

This spell allows the wizard to temporarily an­imate the body or bones of a dead human, demihuman, or humanoid creature of man-size or smaller. The animated creature is treated as a zombie or skeleton, as appropriate; see the Monstrous Manual tome. The undead servant obeys simple commands until destroyed, dis­pelled, or the spell duration expires.
The material component is a pinch of grave­yard dirt.
