With a quick jolt of necromantic energy, a corpse momentarily rises to obey you. Choose the corpse of a Huge or smaller creature that has died within the last hour. When you cast this spell, the corpse stands up and can move up to 15 feet and make a single melee attack using your spell attack modifier against a target of your choice within its reach. On a hit, this attack deals Bludgeoning damage based on the corpse's size: Tiny (1d4), Small (1d6), Medium (1d8), Large (1d10), and Huge (1d12). Once the corpse attacks, it once again crumples into a heap. A corpse targeted by this spell doesn't become an Undead creature.
