Alchemists: The King's Golem

Use it immediately: choose one of the four ingredients shown by the card reader, and it tells you whether that ingredient’s alchemical is solar or lunar. This lets you eliminate alchemicals of the opposite class for that ingredient (p. 2).

No. The article says that each listed ingredient has the indicated sign in that aspect; it does not claim that the two ingredients combine to make that sign (p. 4).

It hedges against one ingredient, not one aspect: it claims that every other ingredient in the article is correct. If a successful debunking proves that some other ingredient must also be wrong, your seal is not properly hedged and you lose 5 reputation (pp. 4–5).

No. You must have tested the golem at least twice before attempting to animate it or submitting a progress report; each of your first two tests advances your progress marker (pp. 9–10).

Use the reactions’ sizes to determine the required signs: a reaction to a large aspect means animation requires a positive sign in that color, while a small aspect means it requires a negative sign. Then identify the two ingredients with those signs (p. 11).
