After snacking on her foe's shadow, Shade can summon a replica of them, gaining their strength to a degree. (To 'snack' on a foe's shadow, Shade must successfully strike them with a melee-style attack.) These replicas function as extensions of Shade's own body, taking as much concentration to move as a limb. Shade can maintain up to 2 replicas with minimal detriment to her concentration, with each additional replica adding strain to Shade's concentration to maintain all replicas, up to 5 maximum. Maintaining 5 replicas takes all her focus, and to do so she must remain rooted and cannot use any of her own moves, only those mimicked by the replicas.
As these replicas are extensions of Shade, they cannot act if Shade cannot command them. Essentially, if Shade is being mentally trick or immobilized so that she cannot act with her own body, she cannot act with the replicas. If Shade is knocked unconscious or put to sleep for even a split second, all replicas are dispelled.
These replicas and their strength is permanently gained by Shade, and she can summon a replica of any past foe. (Each new replica gained would be an additional purchase/upgrade to this move.) Shade can command these replicas to perform any move she witnesses said replica's source use after it's creation. These attacks are performed with the same technical skill as moves copied by Mimic, and can only be performed by the replica itself, excluding melee-style attacks (They can be used by Shade as well while the replica with the move is currently summoned). The replicas can also use any of Shade's moves.
All replicas provide Shade with additional visual information, allowing her a larger field of vision. (Anything a replica can see with it's eyes, Shade can also see as if they were her own eyes.)
This replica forms from shadows, being summoned one of the following ways: The replica steps out of nearby shadows within 5 feet of shade, as if it had been waiting there the whole time, OR The replica steps out from directly behind Shade, as if it had been waiting there the whole time.
This is the move as a whole, and i would like to work to get this usable in the scope of the rules. Although I'm looking to have a version without any mimicry approved right now, and then I'd add the mimicry later as an upgrade. Basically, this is more or less the finally form, and I want to squared away before i piece it out to purchase gradually. Know what i mean?
