272Golems are creatures that the player has some control over. Note that many
273summoned creatures are considered golems, even if they are not called
274golems.
275
276If you have a golem in control your spell type will be listed as golem,
277with the creature name in parantheses.
278
279To control your golem, just press the fire key in the direction you want
280your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction,
281and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction.

284disappear. Also, once you select another spell to cast, or change your

465Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset. 424=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
425
426The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
42740 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
428most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is

431=item Svd: the amount of seconds the map was last saved (++ means >99).
432
433The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
434it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
435emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
436
437=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
438
439Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the
