Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Large or Medium creature within range.  Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, rearranging its anatomy if necessary and raising it as an Undead Mount (statistics provided below).The caster or a creature they designate can ride the Undead Mount as if it was a trained mount, or the Undead Mount can be used as a pack animal. If used as a pack animal, the caster can mentally command the Undead Mount to determine where it moves. If given a command, it will continue to follow that command until a new command is given.The Undead Mount is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you’ve given it. To maintain control of the Undead Mount for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the Undead Mount again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four Undead Mounts you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you animate or reassert control over two additional Undead Mounts for each slot level above 2nd. Each of the Undead Mount must come from a different corpse or pile of bones.Undead MountLarge or Medium Undead, Unaligned           Armor Class 10Hit Points 19 (3d10 + 3)Speed 50 ft.           <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>STR</td><td>DEX</td><td>CON</td><td>INT</td><td>WIS</td><td>CHA</td></tr><tr><td>16 (+3)</td><td>10 (+0)</td><td>12 (+1)</td><td>2 (-4)</td><td>11 (+0)</td><td>7 (-2)</td></tr></table>                   Vulnerabilities radiantDamage Immunities necrotic, poisonCondition Immunities exhaustion, poisonedSenses Darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 10Languages Understands any language spoken by its creator   Beast of Burden.
