Replication Technique

The Replication Technique is a technique performable by most Energy and Magic users that enables them to make temporary replicas of themselves to take their place or to battle with. These replicas can use some of the lower level abilities of their creators and take a few hits before dissipating.

Overview
The Replication Technique is fairly advanced as it requires perfect control of either Magic or Energy. Once performed these Replications are capable of acting on behalf of the creator without hesitation, each being intelligent with a similar mind to their original. They are born aware that they are Replications and by default always follow the will of their original.

When created they can be impossible to distinguish from the original under normal means. Only individuals with sensory powers have a shot at telling the original from the rest; though this can be negated if the original knows how to mask their power to be on the level of their Replications.

They can serve multiple purposes such as distraction, fighting opponents, acting as defence, and other means based upon the creativity of the user. They are capable of using the techniques of their original though with a limit before they begin to break down. Users of the Replication technique can amass more power than necessary inside of their Replication in order to keep them on the front lines longer, a tactic that is perfect when in need of stalling an escape.

Replications can also be set to mindless mode though only when connected via a link of some sort (I.E. Energy Chain or telepathic link) to their original. They can take multiple blows just as their original can; though are considerably more brittle. A severe enough attack is capable of destroying them by breaking the concentration and focus of magic/energy. A user is capable of reinforcing the Replication with more power in order to let them soak up more and more blows.
