Description

You send negative energy coursing through a creature that you can see within range, causing it searing pain. The target must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 7d8 + 30 Necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A Humanoid killed by this spell rises at the start of your next turn as a Zombie that is permanently under your command, following your verbal orders to the best of its ability.
