His first primary combat Golem had to be a pure instrument of war.
Master Mercer had made his requirements abundantly clear during his lectures to both him and Victor: to obtain the third and most crucial Core Witchcraft needed for advancement, they had to independently design and construct a Level 3 Golem.
A war machine with destructive power on par with an Official Wizard.
To be more precise, its destructive power was benchmarked against the damage caused by the Elemental Witchcraft of a First-level Wizard from a Witchcraft School, cast at a standard Magic Power output.
In other words, a single strike had to be capable of obliterating a two-story stone castle with a footprint of six hundred square meters.
In terms of the Insight Glasses data Allen was more familiar with, this meant that the moment the Golem attacked, the peak instantaneous Magic Power fluctuation from its core energy output had to be consistently above 1000.
