The phantasm targets a humanoid within 10 feet of it that has been dead for no longer than 1 minute and died violently. The target’s spirit rises as a spectre in the space of its corpse or in the nearest unoccupied space. The spectre is under the phantasm's control. The phantasm can have no more than ten spectres under its control at one time.

Phantasms are powerful, spectral undead creatures that resemble very large wraiths. They seek places defiled by death and destruction, such as crypts, battlefields and the lairs of other undead, though they favour the lairs of vampires, and wraiths, wights, and spectres tend to gather in and around the lairs of phantasms. They are very rare, created in much the same manner as wraiths, but infused with powerful evil energy. They fear and hate sunlight, as it reminds them of what they have lost, as well as what they have become, very much like normal wraiths. Undead Nature. A phantasm doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
