 Great Golem of Prague - ErrantryWiki
For this purpose Rabbi Judah took a great mass of clay from the banks of the river Vltava, and spent three days and three nights reciting over the construct both a complex spell in the Speech and verses from the Sefer Yetzirah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sefer_Yetzirah) (1).
Unfortunately Rabbi Judah had miscalculated the power of his spell and (according to later analysis by experts) had transposed or misstated several key variables, particularly the one invoking the concept of continuous creation.
It grew far beyond the size which Judah had planned for it, and the resultant derangement of the power equations in the spell -- which kept increasing themselves to keep up with the golem's physical growth -- caused the spell's control functions to catastrophically fail.
