This A [[ruby]] wand made from attached to [[rubyInfuscor]], it clones any [[Items|item]] or [[Monsters|monster]]it's zapped at, has creating a permanent duplicate. === Uses === Belive it or not, the wand of cloning is one of the most coveted items in any game of IVAN and is on par in usefulness with the [[Scrolls|scroll of wishing]]. While it may seem relatively poor on its own, it enables you to three chargesmultiply any and all resources you find throughout the game, basically giving you extra items of your choice. Wands of cloning and [[Wand of Mirroring|mirroring]] have quite a similar effects - they both fire a ray with maximal range of five tiles, but only the monster and/or items on the first occupied tile are affected. If a monster is hit, duplicates its clone appears on a free adjacent square. This clone has no items (the thing shot atinventory of the monster hit is not cloned), and but otherwise is attached a complete equivalent of the original, only its allegiance will be changed to belong to its creator - the one who zapped the wand. This is actually actively abused by [[InfuscorIschaldirh]], who always generates with a wand of cloning and likes to zap you and then watch the death match between your avatar and your evil twin. Only  If there are only items on the square, the first five lowest items will be affected (the items first dropped, with the exception of the wall-mounted [[lantern]]s, which are alwys the highest and can be cloned only if there are four or less items in a pile are underneath them). These items will be duplicatedinto identical permanent copies that have the same effects and uses and even stack together. This is the most desirable effect of the wands of cloning. Cloning Be aware that not all items are cloneable (especially [[:Category:Artifacts|Artifact]]s) and the player does '''game will not''' clone his inventoryskip them while pickeing the items to be cloned - if you target a square with an uncloneable item and five cloneable on top of it, only four items will be cloned, the fifth cloneable items being unaffected because the first "charge" of cloning was wasted on the uncloneable item. === Strategy === Coming soon!
