The workshop vocabulary: a short definition and a practical note for each term.
A definition
Servitor
A purpose-built construct with one task, a name, a sigil, a feeding method and a kill condition.
What it is
A purpose-built construct with one task, a name, a sigil, a feeding method and a kill condition.
In practice
Write the kill condition before you charge it. A servitor with several purposes is a badly specified one.
