Im thinking more along the lines of the character being somewhat like an arms dealer, sorta.
you need a double to establish an alibi, a target to flush out that pesky sniper whose been taking shots at you.
some backup when you storm the lair of a formor badass and his turtlenecks the come to "insert character name" where we double your chances.
corny i know but I loved
turncoat and billy and the werewolfs got me thinking if the packs numbers had dwindled wouldnt it be great for a dangerous assault to escape to conjure an identical wolf.mollys solo fight seen was awesome im hoping my character can duplicate it have a bunch of doubles flee in all directions.
I read somewhere that conjuring enough frogs to overrun a park is 11 shifts but if your conjuring a single copy of yourself would that be higher or lower.
yeah gonna probrably have to go the sorcerer's route with thaumaturgy.
LoL never Sell anything to a competant conjurer.
I can understand if summoning is the only way to get animated things. book throws me a lil.
