268
269	Golems are creatures that the player has some control over. Note that many
270	summoned creatures are considered golems, even if they are not called
271	golems.
272
273	If you have a golem in control your spell type will be listed as golem,
274	with the creature name in parantheses.
275
276	To control your golem, just press the fire key in the direction you want
277	your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction,
278	and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction.
279
280	Note that once you leave the map that the golem is on, the golem will
281	disappear. Also, once you select another spell to cast, or change your
282	range type, your golem will disappear.
