 Steel golems are probably the most dangerous golems in the variants they appear in: they though deal much less physical damage than the [[crystal golem]] and lack its [[reflection]] and [[magic resistance]], they are more than capable of compensating with their 15 [[speed]] and passive disenchanting. Their physical attacks make "junk" weapons far more difficult to employ safely, and their many resistances and [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] of 60 make inflicting damage through magic difficult.
-Fortunately, sources of strong non-elemental or non-resisted damage can reduce the amount of times a [[hero]] will need to risk their weapons' enchantment, especially for ranged attacks such as the {{+ of|magic missile|and=1|acid stream}} spells; they should also have enough [[magic marker]] charges and/or spare [[scrolls of enchant weapon]] to restore any lost enchantment. Additionally, steel golems are generally rare enough that most heroes will not encounter too many of them (if at all) before or during the [[ascension run]], at which point they will likely prefer to zap a [[wand of teleportation]] at time-consuming threats and continue advancing.

		+	{{encyclopedia\|
		+	"The original story harks back, so they say, to the sixteenth
		+	century. Using long-lost formulas from the Kabbala, a rabbi is
		+	said to have made an artificial man -- the so-called Golem -- to
		+	help ring the bells in the Synagogue and for all kinds of other
		+	menial work.
		+	"But he hadn't made a full man, and it was animated by some sort
		+	of vegetable half-life. What life it had, too, so the story
		+	runs, was only derived from the magic charm placed behind its
		+	teeth each day, that drew down to itself what was known as the
		+	`free sidereal strength of the universe.'
		+	"One evening, before evening prayers, the rabbi forgot to take
		+	the charm out of the Golem's mouth, and it fell into a frenzy.
		+	It raged through the dark streets, smashing everything in its
		+	path, until the rabbi caught up with it, removed the charm, and
		+	destroyed it. Then the Golem collapsed, lifeless. All that was
		+	left of it was a small clay image, which you can still see in
		+	the Old Synagogue." ...
