Plastic golems were notoriously cheesable with a spear and a window frame, and this aims to discourage that.
Describe the solution
Gives the plastic golems a version of the Magic Missile spell, that way they can attack you at ranged
Describe alternatives you've considered
Testing
The golems can indeed cast the spells, and it seems to either do considerable damage or very little damage depending on your luck and how exactly you encounter them
Additional context
Resin golems are still a theoretical infinite skill farm, but that's a separate issue that I'd need to look at (then again, there's a good chance they'll spawn with plastic golems around anyway).
They seem to love targeting the head
Further golem reworks (adding a new clay golem evolution, diversifying the monster group more and potentially adding a new one for higher tier golems) are also planned. In general, looking to balance out the challenge v.s. reward a bit more
