Reflection Candle (Magic Candle)

Once lit, the smoke from this candle coalesces into an image identical to the individual who lit the taper. The image is capable of independent movement within a 25' radius of the candle, as ordered by the mental command of the candle lighter, but cannot go past these bounds. Weapons, clothing, and other items are copied exactly: the image cannot do damage, nor can it cast spells, though it may appear to do so. Each time a person or creature encounters the image, he or she must save vs. spell or mistake the image for the person. The error is quickly realized when the image is attacked, since any attack on the image destroys it. The person who lit the candle may step beyond the area of effect without destroying the image, but must stay within sight of the image in order to control it. The controller cannot take any action other than movement at half speed: doing otherwise destroys the image. Extinguishing the candle cancels the illusion. These candles are made with attar of roses and bay leaf, blood from a giant chameleon and hangman tree sap, plus several drops of quicksilver.
