Golem: Difference between revisions

Golems are born when powerful magic-users awaken Essence in an inanimate object, or an amalgamation of such objects assembled into roughly humanoid form. The exact process by which individual casters do this depends upon the source of their magic. This, in turn, typically affects the golem’s specific capabilities and personality.

With rare exception, a caster is only ever able to create one golem in their lifetime due to the intense amount of magical energy that goes into creating life from inanimate matter. This often means that a golem and its creator share an intense bond, either as great friends or terrible adversaries (as in the case of poor Viktor Shelley, who created the first golem).

Perhaps your creator is another member of your party. Remember that the process of creating a golem usually requires a tremendous capacity for magic, but also exacts a high toll, so it is easy to justify your creator being only the same level as you from a mechanical standpoint. Perhaps your creator has lost much of their magical ability and hopes to reclaim it over the coming years, even if they will never again be able to create another golem.
