"Different. Much different.  I know you remember how Regina and the girls were powered by the Glyph?  Well, it's something different now.  It isn't demonic energy or Glyph energy that keeps them going, it's spirit energy. But it's from a specific source.  Now, I know what you're thinking.  It's not like the Glyph.  Not even close."

I pour another drink. "In this reality, I had invented a process for Golems that allowed them to become pregnant. Regina was my first and only test.  It takes SE from a donor and creates a rune core that takes a random aspect of the mother's personality and forms it into an individual. The core, when born, contains blueprints for the body the core is to be inserted into.  But here's the thing."

I take a sip and turn a large open book around to face you. "The rune core itself has enough energy when it is born to allow the young Golem to grow on its own without outside input. But what did the SE convert into to allow this?  The device congeals the donor SE into a specific subtance."

I open the desk drawer and pull out a little pellet the size of a pea and hand it over. You take it and it feels incredibly heavy.

"Orichalcum."
