The Mirror of Opposition is an incredibly powerful item that can create a duplicate of any living creature that is capable of seeing itself in a mirror. This power has effectively no limits, and can completely duplicate any enemy with all magical powers and abilities: archmages, ancient dragons, demon princes, etc.
However, the Mirror of Opposition is still a mirror, making it difficult to use on the battlefield.
- A Mirror of Opposition is several feet tall and very fragile. It can be attacked as any human target with AC0, and any amount of damage (even a single sling-stone) will shatter it.
- Duplicates created by the Mirror of Opposition appear in the same way as any other image, on the far side of the mirror from the viewer. They must "step out" of the mirror on their initiative during the next round. If they lose initiative, it is possible that the mirror might be destroyed before they can emerge.
- Mirrors (of full-length vanity size) take a full round to position properly -- especially when one is trying to carefully aim them away from oneself and one's friends! They can't simply be pulled out of a backpack with a free action, like a sword from a scabbard.
- Most inhabitants of a fantasy world are aware of the dreadful enchantments associated with magical mirrors, and will immediately regard anyone carrying one onto a battlefield with extreme prejudice.
