A Golem Without Form. The manastorm golem is the creation of a master wizard who harnesses the magic around it to create a construct without the need for materials; it makes the creature from magic itself. The golem is malleable and amorphous, expanding and contracting as needed, but it always reforms into a vaguely humanoid-shaped cloud of energy.
Intelligent and Communicative. The manastorm golem is unique among its cousins because it is given an inherent intelligence from its creator. This, and its ability to fly, makes it a perfect scout. The golem can fly somewhere, investigate the area, and return with information, conveying it to the golem’s master via magical whispers.
Construct Nature. A golem doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
