	A summonable stone man, the Golem is a slow moving but fairly damaging companion, most commonly used by sorcerers against triple immune monsters. Golems can also be helpful to distract enemies, and to kill targets on the other side of a wall. They benefit greatly from the stone curse spell, since if their targets are stationary and helpless, the golem hits with every strike and takes no damage during the battle. Without backup Golems are not useful against higher level melee monsters, who will kill them quickly. A single golem can terrorize entire levels in the Church, though. Think of Golems more as bodyguards than as scouts: they will happily take a hit for you or cover your retreat, but keep them backed up if you want them to last as on their own they will be helpless against powerful melee fighters, mobs, or fast-moving ranged attackers. They do regenerate HP though, and they will do a nice job at securing areas for you once the bulk of the opposition has been cleared of so that they can regenerate between engagements. Artillery mages might also like having a Golem on their side when facing [[Hidden]].

Artillery mages might also like having a Golem on their side when facing [[Hidden]] or "immune" ennemies.

	Golems are most useful against Advocates, since they can withstand a lot of damage from Flash spells, and are not touched by the Advocates' Fireballs. They are less successful against Witches, and take damage from Bloodstar. Also, due to a bug in the Golem's light radius (it's set to infinite) every witch on the level sees the golem the moment he's cast, and will fire at him if they have a line of sight. Golems home in on nearby enemies. If nothing is nearby, they will walk in the direction their caster is facing.

Golems home in on nearby enemies. If nothing is nearby, they will walk in the direction their caster is facing.

	Only one golem may be active at once. If the spell is cast again, an active golem will crumble to gravel. Players gain full experience for kills made by their golem. Golems are hostile to each other, and will fight if there are two of them (from two players) in the same area. Yes, this can be funny to watch.		Only one golem may be active at once.

	An odd sort of proximity-based magical attack. When cast with enemies nearby, they would take huge damage, as though their blood was boiling from within. Presumably it did not work on undead, since skeletons pretty clearly lack blood.		An odd sort of proximity-based magical attack. When cast with enemies nearby, they would take huge damage, as though their blood was boiling from within. Presumably it did not work on undead, since skeletons pretty clearly lack blood. In the PR demo, apparently the spell was changed to (or first implemented as) a point and click spell. It would blow up the target from within, killing it instantly and dealing damage to the caster equal to (100 -(12,5*slvl))% of the target's maximum hp. Mana cost started at 18 and decreased by 2 per level.

	A spell-casters aid, this one transferred health points to mana points. It~~'s interesting to think who would use this in~~ the ~~final game. Sorcerers wouldn't much bother~~, ~~since they have such high~~ mana ~~and low hit points anyway~~. ~~Rogues, before going into mini-mage mode? Bards?~~		A spell-casters aid, this one transferred health points to mana points. It was taken out because the mana bonus was higher than the health cost, which meant it could be used together with Heal to give a character infinite health and mana.

	===Doom Serpents===		===Doom Serpents===
	[[Image:D1-icon-doom-serpent.gif]]		[[Image:D1-icon-doom-serpent.gif]]
	This ~~one summoned~~ two ~~serpents from out of the ground~~, ~~which then slithered over to attack nearby targets. They~~ did not ~~attack the Undead~~. ~~The graphics were not finished,~~ and ~~it's hard to see who would have found this useful in~~ the ~~final game, when so many spells do the same thing, but more quickly, and against Undead as well~~.		A projectile spell that shot a missile consisting of two snakes corkscrewing around each other. This would home in on a target, possibly hitting two targets much like Elemental, but did not appear without a valid target. It damaged only beasts (and the Butcher).

	~~A precursor to Stone Curse, this one~~ turned ~~living things solid~~. ~~It did not work on~~ the ~~Undead~~.		Temporarily turned a character invulnerable. Graphics were a gold ring that fit exactly around the Mana Shield orb.
