What do you think? The language could be better, sure, but I mean the
mechanics. Also: can't figure out a good and fun way to allow Golem
creation.

The Xaman is an office.
Golems are entities tracked by the Xaman. Mind is a Golem text switch
defaulting to "False" tracked by the Xaman. Body is a Golem text switch
defaulting to "Does nothing".
When the conditions specified by the Golem's Mind are met, the Golem is
activated. When a Golem is activated, it performs the actions in its Body.
This are types of Golems, written as "<Name> ([<Type>: <Attribute>]):
When '<Mind>', do '<Action>'"
* Observer (Text: condition, Golem: target): When 'condition', do 'poke
target'.
* Avatar (Player: spirit, Text: action): When 'I have been poked since
my last activation', do 'action on behalf of golem's spirit'.
* Proxy (Player: beneficiary): When 'I have been poked since my last
activation and I hold an asset' do 'transfer held asset to
beneficiary'. Other rules nonwithstanding, Proxy Golems can own
any asset.

First, I just want to say I really like the theming here. Grade A.
Personally tho, I don't want the "machines" we already have (contracts
and promises). If I could I'd repeal them both (I may still attempt to).
If this proposal is added on top of those, I'd be AGAINST. if it
replaces both of those, I'd be either PRESENT or FOR, because it's at
least a more interesting implementation.
