—Wise words of  DarkLight Atronach

Atronachs are not Golems, atleast not in the sense you'd think, They are composed of Elements, Fire, Water, Wind etc. However the most dangerous elements to mess with are Darkness and Light which represents Death and Life. however some wizards, sorcerors, or that guy who thinks he's smart in those books, will try anyway to harness it, or both if given the chance.

However merging the two elements isn't the only thing required, usually it requires a soul to run and operate.and if the caster isn't careful, they could end up as the sacrifice.

Appearence

DarkLight Atronachs appear as figures made entirely from a black metal like substance, a sort of light emanates from their center face and from three slots, however that is the base form a DarkLight Atronach may exist in a Light shell and have Darkness shone coming form their face. they can turn the emanating light or dark off. also it may look different in design depending on where the caster summoned it. for instance, a Darklight atronach in Neverwinter will not resemble the one from Luska.  

Magic works on them like everyone else, but Arcana is used to work on them more then Medicine

They have Male and Female Genders and organs(one of the reasons they wear clothes despite being made of a sort of metal.), but as they share the attraction with whatever soul is placed in them, so they find their own kind unattractive and will often seek mates in whatever race they were before. children born from a humanoid and a Atronach will spawn a special Genasi child.

Personality

 

Darklight Atronachs were supposed to be servants, but many find that they have their own opinion, one of the reasons that a random slave or the worker/servant that hates you the most in one. A DarkLight Atronach may serve out of respect, but they look after their own needs and wants just as much as somebody human or humanoid.

DarkLight Atronachs can't alter thier looks like a Warforged.

Alignment wise they are the same as the soul that rests in their body. it is unclear wether their soul and their body are different or the same as their body is composed of elemental energy.
