 Golems are not intelligent, though (for courtesy's sake) they should be considered to be sentient due to the incorporation of the Speech into their structure, no matter for how short a time this condition may obtain. Ordinarily a golem acts like a machine, the base wizardry and activating word working together to determine how it behaves. However, a golem's shape may also have some effect on its functioning, in the same way that a statue animated using the [[Mason's Word, the | Mason's Word]] may attempt to act the same way as a real creature of the same shape would do.

 When the activating word or concept phrase in the Speech is removed or effaced, the golem theoretically ceases to operate. However, depending on the intrinsic power of the Speech / wizardry used to animate them, and how long it was in effect, golems  may unexpectedly reanimate under certain circumstances -- so great care should be taken in their design and management.
