| | You may spend 2 MP as a Half Action to create an illusory double of yourself in an available space within Close range. This double mimics your actions, though their actions are purely illusory - if the double ends up mimicking an attack, creatures "struck" by it get a Will save to realize it's an illusion. A creature which has not disbelieved your Copycat is "threatened" by it, meaning your Copycat may provide flanking for you or your allies against creatures fooled by it. The copycat creates the needed sounds, smells, textures, or temperatures required to perfectly copy your appearance at the time of casting. |
| |
| You can create an illusory double of yourself as a move action. This double functions as a single [[priority:magic:spells:tier2:mirror_image|]], and lasts for a number of rounds equal to your caster level, or until the illusory duplicate is dispelled or destroyed. You can have no more than one copycat at a time. This ability does not stack with the mirror image spell. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Primary Casting Attribute modifier. | Copycats last a number of rounds equal to your Caster Level, after which they disappear. A Copycat which is successfully hit is also immediately destroyed - Copycats have your AC score for this purpose. You can have up to your Secondary Attribute Modifier in Copycats active at once. |

| | ===== Enlightenment - Dead Ringer (Sp) ===== |
| | <WRAP round box> |
| | When you take Hitpoint damage, you may spend 4 [[priority:magic#mana|MP]] as an Immediate Action. Upon doing so, several things occur at once: |
| |
| ===== Enlightenment - Master's Illusion (Sp) ===== | * You become invisible, as [[priority:magic:spells:tier4:invisibility_greater|]]. |
| | * A "corpse" of your body appears in your square on the ground - this is a [[priority:magic:spells:tier3:major_image|]]. |
| | * One Copycat (as the Primus Talent) is created in an adjacent square, and you can choose how it acts with a simple declaration (Flee, Fight, etc.). |
| |
| You can create an illusion that hides the appearance of yourself and any number of allies within Close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 CL) for 1 round per caster level. This ability otherwise functions like the spell [[priority:magic:spells:tier6:veil|]]. The save DC to disbelieve this effect is equal to 10 + 1/2 your caster level + your Primary Casting Attribute modifier. The rounds do not need to be consecutive. | Additionally, the magic auras of this effect are murky and hard for inexperienced casters to discern. [[priority:magic:spells:tier0:detect_magic|]], [[priority:magic:spells:tier2:see_invisibility|]], and even [[priority:magic:spells:tier6:true_seeing|]] automatically fail to notice anything out of the ordinary if the Caster Level is equal to or less than your own. Casters who exceed your CL are granted a Will save to notice this, if they have sufficient detection magic active at the time of using this Talent's activation. |

| | ===== Zenith - I'm Everywhere (Su) ===== |
| | <WRAP round box> |
| | You may now summon 1d4 Copycats by spending 6 MP as a Half Action (this does not allow you to breach your maximum). Each Copycat appears in a square of your choosing within Close range. All of your Copycats now have their magical aura masked, as [[priority:magic:spells:tier1:magic_aura|]]. |
| |
| | When your Copycats duplicate a Spell or Attack made by you, you can choose for it to be almost real - creatures attacked by a Copycat in this manner receive a Will save to disbelieve the attack. If they fail, they take the full brunt of the attack as if you had hit them yourself. If they succeed, they take one fifth of the normal damage. This otherwise works like [[priority:magic:spells:tier5:shadow_evocation|]]. |
