Bug with duplicate spell? Realm of Magic pack.

I am unsure what causes it. But sometimes you're clones won't expire and will become full sims that are considered siblings. I've done a lot of testing and I can't find a consistent thing to trigger ...

@AzzureRain, I had an evil clone with the Scientist career in Get to Work. But the clones in GTW (both regular and evil) aren't commandable and are meant to last, so they are a bit different than the ROM clones. I think getting an evil clone is intended to be a backfired spell, but I feel as if the duration of the evil clones might be a bug. 🤔

@PugLove888 Interesting theory. I suppose that may have been what happened to me the first time. After a while the "Command" options vanished and I started getting "Evil twin" things. I didn't notice if it failed or not, it summoned the clone and I just assumed it worked. I suppose it may have failed and summoned a permanent evil twin.

  @Psychotps, yes, its a possibility! I don't know if its true or not, but based on what others have been saying who have had the Evil clone, it does sound like a backfired spell.🤨 Kind of like how you get tainted potions if your alchemy potions fail. Not as bad as getting a curse though! 😃

    @PugLove888 Wow, that's a heck of a backfire then. If it works, you get a temporary slav... um... "assistant"... If it fails, you get a permanent evil twin... bummer.
