Я хотел оживить голема, но получил галлюцинирующего идиота

В игре Warcraft есть такая тварь — железный голем. Здоровенная кукла, слепленная из глины и металла, которую оживляют магическим словом. Тупой, но мощный исполнитель. Сказали бить — бьёт.

Существующие proxy требовали рестартов и рулились конфигами.
