Forged
Golems:
Made from various materials, they are typically bipedal mechanical servants, controlled by written instructions. They are usually filled with a material such as clay or mud to hold the gemstones in place and add structural support, though many use wood or metal braces instead. Attonova is known for their intricate clockwork golems, which require far fewer gemstones than traditional ones.
Golems in the modern day are often used for labor such as stacking lumber or hauling ore, but traditionally were used as a defense against monsters of the night. Traditional golems were adorned with terracotta armor.
Golems receive tasks via written instructions, fed to them through a slot which is traditionally in place of the mouth. They are capable of interpreting instructions via a central runic diamond, which absorbs information.
Specific skills are learned via additional diamonds, such as walking, hauling, and other skills. The application of these skills based on the golem’s current task is determined by its central diamond.
Wooden Golem: A relatively weak golem made of wood, yet still quite strong compared to a human
Stone Golem:
Iron Golem:
Brass Golem:
Silver Golem:
Prismir Golem: A silver golem coated in an additional layer of Prismir, it is immune to magical damage. Used to help defend against large onslaughts of magical monsters.
Switch-Operator: A relatively small biped used to operate switchboards, such as those in trainyards. They are commonly made of copper, and resemble short humanoids. Their heads are oddly large for their bodies, as this is where their central diamond is stored, typically quite large in order to process greater information.
Knowledge Keeper Golem: Slender and highly humanoid, these golems are often used as librarians and archivists. The name of a book can be written down and placed in their mouth in order to have them fetch the item.
Risen: Dead forged creatures possessed by Spellforms. They mildly change appearance, and are far more bestial than Reforged.
- Stormrisen: Their joints connected by electricity, and eyes of sparks, they are the most aggressive of Risen.
- Flamerisen: Their whole body doused in flames, growing larger when enraged.
- Frostrisen: The rarest of Risen. Cold vapor rises from their eyes, and their whole body crackles with frost.
- Shadowrisen: Nonexistent. Shadowforms never take solid forms, for they find it too restricting.

I really like your reconstructing terror. Would you mind if I add something like it in my world? I'll give you credit for the inspiration.
Yeah that's fine. It's a pretty broad concept anyways
