Libram of Constructs
The libram is a magical work giving full instructions for the manufacture of a range of golemlike constructs. The book radiates an evil aura, but may be used by an alignment. A magic-user of 12th or higher level may manufacture any of the puppets detailed in this scenario (except the ventriloquist puppet, which requires a 14th-level magic-user creator). The manufacture of any such puppet requires a minimum of six weeks' magical research and construction, using materials and spells as the DM rules appropriate (see the following for an example). However, without a limited wish spell, there is a 1% chance per day that the mage is not able to control the puppet, which then attacks everything in sight. Without a permanency spell, there is a 1% chance per day that the puppet simply falls apart and is useless. Only an evil magic-user has control over his creations using this book; all others who build constructs using this book are immediately attacked by their creations, which gain a +4 to hit against good-aligned magic-users.
