Simulacrum (spell)
Simulacrum is a level 6 Ice/Necromancy spell which creates simulacra from a dying monster.
Effect
Casting Simulacrum irresistibly grants the Simulacrum enchantment on a single living, demonic, or holy monster anywhere in line of sight for 30-40 turns. Killing the monster then creates 1 + 1d(pow/20) simulacra.
The kind of simulacrum created is based on the type of the original monster slain. These creatures will do additional ice damage on top of the normal damage for their kind, so the damage output of creatures with multiple attacks is greatly increased. When killed, simulacra leave behind only a short-lived freezing cloud.
Simulacrum takes priority over all ally-creating Necromancy spells except Infestation (which overides it) and Death Channel (which works alongside it)
Monster Version
Monsters have access to Bind Souls, which is a similar effect. They cast it on their own allies, and it can only create one simulacra per monster.
