The stone guardian is a special type of golem-like figure.
It is manufactured somewhat like a [golem] or a [figurine of wondrous power] by using [enchant an item], [transmute rock to mud], [magic mouth], [detect invisibility], and [limited wish] or [wish]. <add item creation notes to fig. of wondrous power?>
(Note: [detect invisibility] is optional but no other detection spell may be substituted for it.)
A figure of a creature from man- to ogre-size (smaller or larger will not work)
is made of mud and given a heart of stone.
The heart must have [enchant an item] cast on it.
The mud is transmuted to rock and the [wish] is cast.
Magic mouth <link> is required so that it can be activated under precise circumstances.
However,
there is a 20% chance per activation that the precise instructions will be disregarded,
and then the stone guardian will attack anything!
A special ring of protection from stone guardians can be crafted at the same time a stone guardian is manufactured.
This ring will keep the wearer and all others within a 10-foot radius immune to a guardian's attack.
The ring will work only for the stone guardian(s) made at the time the ring was magicked and will be useless against other stone guardians.
<make note at magic mouth & detect invisibility : "this is the first of the spells to create a stone guardian", or somesuch?>
<make item creation notes for a ring of protection from stone guardians, here>

The stone guardian takes only one-quarter <(1/4)> damage from edged weapons,
and normal missiles cannot harm it at all.
It takes half damage from cold, fire, and electrical based spells.
It cannot be poisoned, held, charmed, paralyzed, or affected by fear since it has no mind whatsoever and no living body.
It will attack until destroyed.
Stone to flesh, transmute rock to mud, stone shape, or dig spells will kill it instantly with no saving throw <save>.
A stone guardian can see and hear due to the power of the wish but can [detect invisibility] only if that spell was used in its creation.
