	The dread constructcrafter is the [[dread crafter]] of either a [[golem]] that receives the [[dread golem]] template or a less elaborate [[dread construct]] such as the [[carrionette]], the [[figurines\|figurine]], the [[Living Wall\|living wall]], or the [[Wishing Imp\|wishing imp]].

The competences of the [[constructcrafter]] are not necessarily presupposed.

One need not be even so much as a novice at magic to create a dread construct. Equally, one can be the most gifted scientific mind in the [[Land of Mists]] but the [[construct]] will not [[animate]] save by the fiat of the [[Dark Powers]].
