#### Animate Limb
*Cantrip necromancy*
___
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 10 feet
- **Components:** V, S
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute
You target the limb of a dead humanoid, within 10 feet of you. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a crawling claw (the DM has the creature’s game statistics).
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command the creature you made with this spell 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, 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 1 minute or you lose concentration, after which it stops obeying any command you’ve given it and it returns to being a limb. If the creature looses all of its hitpoints it is destroyed and you can not use this spell on it again.
You can only have one crawling claw under your control at a time with this spell.
