-{{CBA|0.31|this spell will be replaced with '''Sculpt Simulacrum''', a level 6 [[Ice Magic]]/[[Alchemy]] spell that targets an adjacent monster and creates 2-3 ice blocks nearby. After 3-5 turns, an ice block will turn into a [[simulacrum (monster)|simulacrum]] of the target, and every 1-3 turns after, another block of ice will do the same. The spell can be cast repeatedly, and there will be no limit to the number of blocks of ice, though a maximum of 5 simulacra can be active at once.}}
+*In [[0.31]], this spell was replaced with [[Sculpt Simulacrum]].
 *Prior to [[0.30]], this spell would create <code>1 + 1d(pow/20)</code> simulacra per monster.
 *Prior to [[0.29]], Simulacrum would create multiple undead from a [[corpse]] you were standing on. The amount depended on the size of the corpse. This also meant that simlacrum of corpseless monsters (including holy and demonic) could not be created.

 *Simulacra often have extremely large damage output, but are outstandingly frail. Be mindful of [[fire]] attacks, which are capable of wiping out your horde in a few turns.

 The simulacrum created will have the same [[HD]] as the original monster. They deal 80% their original physical damage, but a great amount of additional ice damage, so the damage output of creatures with multiple attacks is greatly increased. When killed, simulacra leave behind only a short-lived freezing [[cloud]].
