You can create up to 2 x your CL in HD (for a 7th level wizard that is 14 HD).You can control up to 4 x your CL if undead at a time (for a 7th level wizard that is 28 HD).With one casting, a 7th level wizard can create and control a Minotaur zombie (12 HD, CR 4) then add in two levels of fighter (nothing says they can't be "advanced" monsters either at creation or subsequently) to a total of 14 HD, CR 6 (?))It gets better as levels progress (2 x CL HD {per casting} and 4 x CL for control at one time)</blockquote>
