"The undead creature’s destructive instincts take hold for the duration of this spell, and any attempts to control or command the undead creature have a 50% chance of failing; if uncontrolled, the undead creature attacks any living creatures it sees."

If I am controlling the undead creature (created it via animate dead couple days ago), and command this undead "defend me and fight my enemies", and then IN BATTLE I cast this spell - what does it mean about controlling?

Can you explain me, please, how it works actually? I'm a little bit confused by this wording


Anybody?


It looks like when you cast umbral infusion on a mindless undead creature & it fails its save (which you can command it to do if you have control) it has a 50% chance of going nuts and attacking the nearest living creature. Which may be fine if the nearest creature is an enemy of course.


This chance rolling occurs only once? Or I need to check it every round? And how I can take control?


Guys?


Still this spell is pretty confusing for me. Why will save? Is it an attacking spell or something?
