I'm feeling a bit guilty about stopping the word association game in it's tracks, so I thought I'd better put in a word of explanation a la Cutriss... (ps we need vB Codes in order to put accents in appropriately!)
A Chem is the scroll containing the prayers and instructions that is placed in the head of a Golem to animate it. A Golem is a figure of clay endowed with life, from Jewish folklore- as all good Fantasy RPG'ers know!
Read Terry Pratchett's novel "Feet of Clay" (One of the famous "Discworld" novels) for a good yarn about Golems in a particularly humorous corner of the universe...
