Official Move Approval III

[Shade]

Shadow Puppetry (Require Remote Control Prof. and Foresight) - 300 OM
After physically strike a foe, Shade can summon a replica of them, gaining their strength to a degree. 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. Shade can also dispel a replica at anytime, disappearing back into the shadows.

The durability of Shade's replicas is relative to the number of replicas Shade has summoned. When Shade has only one Replica out, it is slightly less durable than herself. With two replicas, each is about 2/3's as durable as Shade. Three = ~1/3 Durability, Four and Five = ~1/4. As Shade must consciously control all five without other actions, no reduction in durability of the replicas is incurred when summoning a fifth.

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.) All replicas can use, and be the source of, any of Shade's moves.

A 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.

I just want to clarify this more, as upon further thought, Minato never asked for clarification on the durability of the replicas.Soi add the following, marking with bold italics, to address that.
