Golem control rod

The golem control rod is a magical object which allows the bearer to control one or multiple golems.
== Information ==
It is a faceted cylinder of solid crystal, deep blue in color and cool to the touch in which dwarven runes are engraved on it. Control rods are ancient objects which were created simultaneously with the golems. It is unknown however if the knowledge for their creation is lost or new control rods can be created.
