This spell causes the lowest of undead monsters, skeletons or zombies, usually created from the bones or bodies of dead humans, demi humans, or humanoids. The spell causes the remains ro become animated, and obey the simple verbal comands of the caster, regardless of how they comunicated in life. The skeletons or zombies can follow the caster, remain in an area and attack any creature (or just a specific type of creature) entering the place, etc. The undead remain animated until they are destroyed in combat or are turned; the magic cannot be dispelled. The caster can animate one skelton or one zombie for each level of experience he has attained.

So it appears that the manual hasa different description to what is used in the game. Odd. Then again, perfectly normal.
