I've been banging my head over the Bones Oracle's Undead Servitude Revelation. I'm not sure if there's some sort of problem with it or me. The problem I'm having is with the duration of Undead Servitude. The text for Undead Servitude says that I get Command Undead as a bonus feat, but when I look at the Command Undead feat it says that undead are under my control as if under the effects of Control Undead. Then it goes on to mention that intelligent undead receive a new saving throw each day to resist my command. Now, the problem I'm having is that Control Undead has a duration of 1 minute/level. With this ability there's no way I could control an undead for a full day. I'm wondering if the command undead feat is suppose to be referring to the command undead spell. If someone could help me out with this I'd greatly appreciate it.

The Command Undead feat grants permanent control of undead. How that control works is what functions as control undead.

Apart from the new saving throw each day for intelligent undead of course.

And apart from the undead being commanded by someone else. And apart from the undead being destroyed. And apart from you deliberately letting the command of the undead to lapse so you can command a different undead. And apart from you being dominated by someone else who then uses that domination effect on you to control your undead. And so on and so on.
