You find yourself transported to the Bloodforge Arena, a mystical battleground. No one can escape.


Author's Note: You find yourself transported to the Bloodforge Arena, a mystical battleground ruled by an ancient and powerful sorcerer, Arkanos the Immortal. The arena shifts its form and challenges, and the player must fight for survival, gold, and freedom. Each round offers increasingly difficult challenges, and between rounds, the player can use their winnings to purchase equipment and potions from a mysterious vendor, “The Keeper.” Survive and conquer the arena’s challenges to earn gold, purchase better gear. Each victory brings more challenging enemies, but nobody can escape this arena.

Description

This spell 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 if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse (the DM has the creature's game statistics). On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. 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. The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you've given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.
