Find Familiar
1st-level conjuration (ritual)
If you are a School of Necromancy wizard, you may choose to have your familiar be an undead spirit that occupies and animates either the corpse of a Tiny beast (one suitable as the form of a normal familiar) or the skull of a Small or Medium humanoid. When you cast the spell in this way, you must provide a corpse or skull for the spirit to animate.
The animated familiar is an undead creature subject to anything that might affect a zombie or skeleton. It's eyes glow with dim points of magical light. The familiar's body is not immune to decay. Skeletal forms may not be able to fly or swim. An animated skull can move its mandible, but it is otherwise immobile.

Spells from Other Sources
Spells from other sources, be it homebrew from The Amethyst Dragon or published by WotC in books like Xanathar's Guide to Everything, need to be approved by the DM before you can add them to your character's spell list or spell book.
Do not be afraid to ask for access to new spells, as more variety in spells can help set your PC apart from characters you've played in the past or from other spellcasters in general.
