Re: Bug with duplicate spell? Realm of Magic pack.

@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. ๐Ÿค”

    @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.๐Ÿคจ  Kind of like how you get tainted potions if your alchemy potions fail.  Not as bad as getting a curse though! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    @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.
  • No that's the weird thing they don't have evil trait despite being called "evil" sims.
