| Creates a phantom copy of a creature. The copy will be somewhat fragile, but otherwise almost indistinguishable from the original. |
Phantom Mirror is a monster-only spell which summons a copy of any monster in the caster's line of sight. This duplicate will have 35% of the original's HP, but will otherwise be indistinguishable from the original. All decoys will disappear when the source creature or the caster is slain. The spell has a 50% chance to swap the position of the original with its phantom in order to prevent you from knowing which is real.
When low on HP, a rakshasa can create two copies of itself using this spell. These emergency clones will have 50% of the original's HP.
The following enemies cast Phantom Mirror:

- Phantom Mirror was introduced in 0.14, replacing Rakshasa Summon.
