1/day: Heat Metal (1/Day). The golem's eyes glow with intense orange light as arcane energy flows through the runes etched in its metallic form. It targets one metal object it can see within 60 feet. The object glows red-hot for 1 minute. Any creature in physical contact with the object takes 9 (2d8) fire damage. Until the effect ends, the creature takes 9 (2d8) fire damage at the start of each of its turns unless it lets go of the object. If a creature is holding or wearing the object and takes the damage from it, the creature must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or drop the object if it can. If it doesn't drop the object, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of your next turn.

Standing twelve feet tall, this imposing construct combines elements of classical golem design with forge machinery. Its metallic body bears the deep red-brown hue of weathered iron, etched with intricate runic patterns that pulse with amber light when it moves. Steam occasionally vents from joints in its armor, and the air around it shimmers with heat.
Its broad chest houses what appears to be a miniature forge, glimpsed through gaps in its plating that glow with internal fire. Its hands are massive and articulated, capable of both delicate manipulation and devastating force, with visible mechanisms that allow them to detach and launch at enemies.
The golem's head is relatively small compared to its bulk, featuring a face forged to resemble an expressionless mask. Its eyes glow with the same amber light as its runes, brightening to orange when it channels power for its heat metal ability. A series of small smokestacks rise from its shoulders, occasionally releasing bursts of steam that create an intimidating silhouette.
Despite its great mass, the golem moves with surprising grace, its joints working with the precision of finely tuned machinery. The complex interplay of plates and mechanisms that make up its form speaks to the masterful craftsmanship of its creation, while scorch marks and worn edges suggest long years of service in the
