A stone golem:
| |
The stone golem is a golem. It may come about after another type of golem is stoned. When a stone golem is killed, it leaves a statue (of a stone golem) rather than a corpse.
Casting stone to flesh on either the "animated" stone golem or its statue will change it into a flesh golem. Stoning this flesh golem will turn it back to a stone golem.

"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

`free sidereal strength of the universe.'
"One evening, before evening prayers, the rabbi forgot to take
