271
272	Golems are creatures that the player has some control over. Note that many
273	summoned creatures are considered golems, even if they are not called
274	golems.
275
276	If you have a golem in control your spell type will be listed as golem,
277	with the creature name in parantheses.
278
279	To control your golem, just press the fire key in the direction you want
280	your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction,
281	and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction.
282
283	Note that once you leave the map that the golem is on, the golem will
284	disappear. Also, once you select another spell to cast, or change your
285	range type, your golem will disappear.
