## Mage Hunter Golem

In the Age of Arcanum, the archmage Halas created his extradimensional lair, the Folding Halls, to sequester himself and his research away from prying eyes. Skilled in the arcane art of golemsmithing, Halas created customized iron golems to guard his halls against other wizards hoping to learn his secrets. When spells of a moderate magnitude are cast within the Folding Halls, a mage hunter golem is dispatched to investigate.

***Antimagic.*** Mage hunter golems are able to nullify magic around them, canceling their quarry's magical capabilities. They are also capable of administering a collar to the neck of their targets, muting them and keeping them from casting most spells should it escape their antimagic.

***Capture, Not Kill.*** Mage hunter golems are designed to pacify their targets, rather than killing them outright. Once a mage the golem is pursuing is neutralized, the golem will carry it to the Prison of Soot, where they will be left until Halas comes to determine what will come next.
