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 ...

@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.

  @Psychotps, I guess since it is a high level spell, the failure had to be high level as well. Failing to ride a broom or teleport means you fall on your face, which is pretty equal to the magic skill involved. With the Duplicato spell, I guess its high risk, high reward! :eahigh_file:

  Yeah that'd be frustrating. Especially without any clear indication of failure. Have to know what you're looking for. I don't want 50 evil clone "siblings" running around my neighborhood.

    @AzzureRain Well, at least if your clone has the "Evil" trait, you can remove it easily enough in CAS.
