Magen

Overview

Magen are magical, humanlike being created by a wizard spell or by other arcane methods.   Though magen look like humanoids with green skin, they are constructs. When one is wounded, its blood seems to have the color and consistency of mercury. They exist purely through magical means. When one is killed, its body disappears in a burst of harmless fire and a cloud of smoke that quickly dissipates.  

Magical Servants

Magen make ideal servants. At creation, each is instilled with an instinct to protect itself and its creator, and it follows its creator's instructions without hesitation. When its tasks are complete, a magen stands immobile and silent until its creator gives it new orders.
