I've counted the suggestions and for the body it is tied 4-4, and head it's round-5 to cone-3
So I'm a flip a coin.
And the coin says sleek.
You finish the sculpting of your golem, your large hands tenderly sculpting your creation. It takes form, the sleek clay body, with three fingered hands to simply grasp items, and the head being roundly sculpted. lastly, you hollow out a cavity in its body for the sigil to be placed. You finish just on time as your master walks in.
He is old and weak, though his years do not do justice for his knowledge. You learned more from him than you have anyone else. You know he is to teach you the runes for a sigil today, your first lesson in the language of magic.
"Hello Johnson, I see you have prepared your vessel. It's good that you didn't forget to until the last minute." You politely clear your throat, narrowly avoiding choking on the irony.
"I have prepared three sigils that you can use, but you must inscribe the runes on your own. I have prepared one of wood, one of baked clay, and one of sandstone. You may pick one of these and place it in your golem. However, it is time to teach you an important part of creating a golem, the language of magic, as a layman calls it. More accurately, it would be called Faestal, which Fae means 'magic', and Stal means 'to speak', or 'talk', each word of Faestal is comprised of two parts, the base and the balance. A rune must have both of these, or else the rune simply would not mean anything. I will teach you three important runes." He says as he pulls out three small spheres of clay, stone, and wood. all about 2 inches in diameter.
He clears his throat. "First, you must know 'Faesil', Magic life. This is what brings life and minor sentience to your golems. This is the most important rune, and without it your golem would not live."
"Second, 'Tolporah', meaning loyal- Tol, and friend- Porah. this is why the golem follows you, without it the golem would simply sit there, living, but not truly sentient. It is also why a golem never attacks their master, because of the loyalty."
"Lastly, I shall teach you one rune of your choice. This is a power rune, being what makes a golem special. These are the most abundant, each providing an abilityto your golem. A sigil of this size can only hold three runes, and thus I am allowing you to place a power rune on it, as it will not be powerful, but still show what the rune does for when you use it in the future."
"The selection is of 4 different runes, rougly described as fire, water, earth, and air. Fire and Earth being the more aggressive types, and Water and Air being the more passive ones."
