Overview
The Golemancy Shek-Pvar is an extensive fan-made expansion introducing a new magical discipline to HârnMaster: the study and creation of magical Constructs through Shek-Pvar methodology.
The supplement stays faithful to Hârnic logic and tone, blending arcane engineering, ethics, and metaphysics into a complete, rule-driven subsystem for advanced campaigns.
Golemancy explores what happens when magic is shaped into form and asks whether that form is not only alive but also possesses a soul.
What’s Inside
- Full Ruleset (v1.8): Core framework for Construct creation, SDR/IDR/EGO systems, Cores, Tiers, and scaling tables.
- New Spells (45 total): Designed around Convocation scaling and Golemancy’s modular architecture (Infuse Life, Arcane Heart, Restore Construct, etc.).
- Many spells now require multiple Convocations to cast, representing the interdisciplinary nature of true Shek-Pvar craftsmanship.
- Lore Integration: Expands Shek-Pvar history through the Arcane Forge, Unseen Artificers, and the rediscovered legacies of Lothrim the Renegade Golemancer and Baron Mikkyl Avonasen, whose heretical pursuit of Construct Diplomacy challenges the Forge’s secrecy.
- Collaborative Casting Rule: Optional mechanic allowing multiple Shek-Pvar to combine Auras and Convocations in complex rituals, echoing the ancient circles of Terra-bound magic.
- Appendices: Detailed systems for True Artificial Personality (TAP), Cognitive Dissonance & Trauma, Construct Diplomacy, and advanced Ward design.
- Design Intent: Built to respect HârnMaster’s internal balance and realism while extending its reach into moral and metaphysical territory.
