This compilation is a treatise on the construction and animation of a golem.

It contains all of the info and incantations necessary to make 1 of the 4 sorts of golems
(cf. AD&D, MM, Golem).
It will take a considerable
amount of time, and be expensive as well, to construct and animate the
golem. During this period, a single magic-user or cleric must have the
manual at hand to study, and he or she must not be interrupted. The type
of manual found is determined as noted below:
 

Die Roll	Type of Golem	Construction  Time	G.P. Cost
1-5	Clay (C) () ()	1 month	65k
6-17	Flesh (M) ()	2 months	50k
18	Iron (M)	4 months	100k
19-20	Stone (M)	3 months	80k

Once the golem is finished, the writing fades and the book is consumed in
flames. When the ashes of the manual are sprinkled upon the golem it
becomes fully animated. It is assumed that the user of the manual is of
10th or higher level. For every level of experience under 10th there is a
cumulative 10% chance that the golem will fall to pieces within 1 turn of
completion of its construction due to the maker’s imperfect understanding.

If a cleric reads a work for magic-users, he or she will lose 10,000-60,000
XP. A magic-user reading a clerical work will lose 1 level of
experience. Any other class of character will suffer 6-36 HP of
damage from opening the work.
