The gift was a golem roughly the size of one story building meant to help the villagers with their everyday tasks and provide protection.

As you take physical bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, chunks of glass are removed from your body resulting in a loss of 5 pounds every time you are struck by a successful attack. If you fall below half of your original mass you lose 2 attack damage from physical attacks, gain double movement speed, and plus 2 for stealth skill checks. To restore health and return back to the original mass, you will have to visit a glass smith to restore the lost glass.

When in the presence of a strong enough light source, the glass golem can take an action to orient its body in such a way that directs a concentrated beam of light capable of setting clothes, wood, or flesh on fire.
