Finger of Death
7th-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action  
Range: 60 feet  
Components: V, S  
Duration: Instantaneous 
You send negative energy coursing through a creature that you can see within range, causing it searing pain. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 7d8 + 30 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.  
A humanoid killed by this spell rises at the start of your next turn as a zombie that is permanently under your command, following your verbal orders to the best of its ability.
