Mantle of Duplication

Aura strong conjuration; CL 20th
Slot shoulders; Price Artifact (Major); Weight 1 lb.
== Description ==
This intricate golden ring, doesn't completely connect the loop. When donned it floats above the user's shoulders, around their neck becoming weightless.
As a full-round action, the user can create a duplicate of himself. The duplicate steps out of the user, and starts his turn adjacent to the user. If there is no space available the duplicate cannot be created. Every three levels he can create and maintain an additional duplicate, each duplicate requiring a separate full-round action (for a total of six duplicates at level 18). The duplicate creature is corporeal and an exact copy of the original. Equipment is copied, however this equipment cannot be used by anyone other than the duplicate creature, and if removed melts into nothingness. Whenever a limited use feature, ability, or magical item is used (such as grit, spells per day, etc.), one use is subtracted from all the copies.
At all times, all duplicates remain under the user's absolute command and are an extension of his own consciousness. The user magically adapts to this strain on his psyche and can function normally and independently with each duplicator doing things such as carrying on separate conversations with each copy all at once. The copies have no ability to become more powerful, they cannot increase their level or abilities.
If a duplication travels farther than one-mile from the user, the duplication melts instantly into nothingness. If a duplication is reduced to 0 hit points or otherwise destroyed, the user takes damage equal to half his current hit-points (minimum of 0 damage). The user can dismiss any duplicate creature at will. If the user is killed his duplicates all turn into nothingness.
