Dead’s Command

9th-level Transmutation (Ritual)

Casting Time:1 action

Range:Touch

Components:V, S, M (A crescent staff adorned with moon gems)

Duration:1 hour

If a creature dies, you can touch them to bring them under your command and imbue them with terrible power. They are healed to double their max health, which is their new maximum while under this spell, and if their size is below Gargantuan, they are grown to Gargantuan size. They gain +2 to their Strength modifier (maximum of +10, including their original Strength modifier) for each size category they had to rise in order to reach gargantuan sized. Already Gargantuan sized creatures double in size and weight, and their Strength modifier becomes +10. Any equipment or weapons they were wearing also increase an appropriate size for the duration of the spell. Melee attacks deal double the damage dice for creatures that were initially Large sized or bigger and triple the damage dice for creatures that were Medium sized or smaller initially. The newly revived creature has all of their memories and abilities but is completely under the command of the caster. If the creature is reduced to 0 hit points, the spell ends. When the spell ends the creature is again dead and they, and their equipment, are reduced back to their normal sizes and this spell cannot be ever used on them again.
