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.

265If you have a golem in control your spell type will be listed as golem,
266with the creature name in parantheses.

269your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction,
270and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction.

273disappear. Also, once you select another spell to cast, or change your
