Rise Undead
Your knowledge of life and death is so great than you get controlling the undead with servant. You gain an undead servant that accompanies you on your adventures. This feature creates an undead servant. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton or zombie.
In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally or verbally command for the undead if the creature is within 60 feet of you. You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.
You can't have more than one skeleton or zombie at a time with this feature. The undead can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.
If the undead dies, you can obtain another one by spending 1 hour performing a ritual.
At 3rd level you can use your action in your turn to mentally or verbally command the undead to take an Attack action. Additionally, it never requires your command to use its reaction, such as when making an opportunity attack.
In 6th level he counts as if he were conjured for animate undead spell.
Spellcasting
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the Pure Necromancer spell list. You learn additional Pure Necromancer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Pure Necromancer table.
- Preparing and Casting Spells
The Pure Necromancer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your pure necromancer spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of pure necromancer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the pure necromancer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of pure necromancer spells equal to your Charisma modifier + your pure necromancer level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 3rd-level pure necromancer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of pure necromancer spells requires time spent in meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
- Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Pure Necromancer spells. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier.
Spell attack modifier = Your proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier.
