This mod adds a new master illusion spell, Shadow Clone on Self, that will summon a copy of the of player.
- The summoned clone will have equal stats to the player and will wear their equipped armor.
- The clone will use copies of the spells and/or weapons that were equipped by the player when the spell was cast.
- Additionally, through the lesser power, Shadow Clone on Self - Select Shout, the player can give the clone access to one of their shouts. This choice is remembered by the game so you don't need to recast the power every time you summon a clone. Players can change or remove the shout by recasting the power. Only one shout can be selected at a time.
There are three versions of the mod:
- A Standalone, No-Requirements Version (For Vanilla/Non-Requiem Modlists)
- A Requiem Version
- A Requiem - Magic Redone Version
In the Requiem - Magic Redone version, the spell also benefits from shadow magic perks, so you can summon two clones at the same time if you have the perks.
Mod is open perms. Do what you want with it.
Technical Details:
Spoiler:
The mod works by summoning a naked, headless NPC (sex of the clone is the same as the player's) and then, via a script attached to a magic effect, equipping it with the caster's armor, spell/weapon.
Then, to make the clone have identical stats to the caster, actor values are carried over from the player.
I chose this implementation over spawning a duplicate of the player as, from my experience, that can completely break the game.
See the actual script source below for more details. For developers, ignore the source files that come with mod (they are outdated) and refer to ones below instead (or use Champollion on the .pex files).
Force AV is used as it gets around having to give the clone any active perks/spells the player has that would modify damage, resistances, or armor penetration. For instance, if the player has an armor spell active or a matching set armor bonus perk, the clone will inherit the AR from it through the scripts without needing to jump through any hoops.
Importantly, force AV overwrites the current AV values and does not stack on top of them. So if the clone has 300 armor from the equipped items, (while the player has 500 from the same items due to perks), the force AV script will set the clone's armor to exactly 500.

The Script to add "Shadow Clone on Self - Select Shout" to the player from the spell tome is from Requiem - Magic Redone.Force AV is used as it gets around having to give the clone any active perks/spells the player has that would modify damage, resistances, or armor penetration. For instance, if the player has an armor spell active or a matching set armor bonus perk, the clone will inherit the AR from it through the scripts without needing to jump through any hoops.
