Starting at 11th level, you can command your companion to take the following edicts:

Feast Upon Flesh. When your companion damages a creature, you can spend an edict die to heal the companion for one roll of the edict die + your companions constitution modifier. You can choose to instead give this healing to yourself instead of your companion.

Rise Again. If your companion is dead, you can use an action to spend an edict die to point at any corpse within 30 feet of you. That corpse rises as your undead companion with 5 hit points. You can spend a spell slot to raise the zombie with an additional 5x the spell slot level spent.

Undead Lord

At 15th level, your undead companion can roll to survive even if it has taken radiant damage or damage from a critical hit. The DC is now only equal to the damage taken. In addition, if your companion fails the check, you may spend a spell slot to instead succeed. When you spend a spell slot to use the feature again after the first free use, it does not count as the spell slot to turn the die roll into a success.
