When you cast this spell, the skeletons and bodies of dead creatures within range permanently rise as undead creatures that follow your commands. All the risen dead have maximum hit points for their hit dice. The bones become skeletons, and the bodies become zombies. You are able to animate a maximum of 24 Medium sized or smaller undead creatures with a single casting of this spell, or up to 12 Large, or six Huge creatures. After 24 hours, you must reassert control over the undead you create, or they wander off. You can affect double the number of creatures you could normally create when casting this spell to reassert control.
