261Golems are creatures that the player has some control over. Note that many
262summoned creatures are considered golems, even if they are not called
263golems.
264
265If you have a golem in control your spell type will be listed as golem,
266with the creature name in parantheses.
267
268To control your golem, just press the fire key in the direction you want
269your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction,
270and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction.
271
272Note that once you leave the map that the golem is on, the golem will
273disappear. Also, once you select another spell to cast, or change your
274range type, your golem will disappear.
