Wait wait wait, you found wands of mirroring in a polypile?!
Also no you can't clone them, sadly.
System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.
Ivan find mounting on ass funny.

i was polying a chest i found in a room hidden in the walls, maybe the chest had 2 wands of mirroring in it?

is there a set number of those rooms that exist? can they be generated in UT4? can more than 1 be generated on a level?
Booooooooooo!

If you mean the room that has 8 walls in the middle, there's always just one of those in GC something.

Secret rooms can also spawn in UT, although the only time I've ever found one was in UT2. And it was full of active bear traps.

BeamRange = 5;

does this mean I could line up 5 stacks of 5 scrolls and mirror them all like a wand of poly?

EDIT: Just checked in wizmode, no, it doesn't work like a wand of poly.

... In what version? I personally have never seen a secret room in UT. Though I have come across rooms full of active bear traps.

I am not entirely sure, but I have definitely encountered a UT secret room at least once, perhaps twice.
Chances are it was a variant, something in the back of my mind says it was IVANT but can't say for sure.

In any case they are NOT common and are very hard to find unless say a landmine blows up a hedgehog and reveals one.

EDIT: Had a look through the variants. Turns out it is LIVAN that has the potential to spawn a secret room in UT:
RandomLevel 0:2;
  {
    Room /* vault */
    {
      GenerateLanterns = false;
      GenerateFountains = false;
      GenerateDoor = false;
      GenerateTunnel = false;
      AltarPossible = false;
      Size = 7,7;
      Flags = NO_MONSTER_GENERATION;
	  UseFillSquareWalls = true;

	        Square, Random;
    {
      Items == Random { MinPrice = 250; MaxPrice = 2000; }
	  Times = 3:9;
    }
	  
      OTerrainMap
      {
        Pos = 1,1;
        Size = 5,5;
        Types
        {
          x = BALSA_WOOD wall(BRICK_OLD);
        }
      }
      {
        xxxxx
        x...x
        x...x
        x...x
        xxxxx
      }
    }
  }
