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