Clone

Clone, also known as In Quas Xen, is one of the more bizarre spells available.

Spell Description
This is a magical spell enabling its caster to create a copy of any living being upon which the incantation is directed. Although a fully independent entity, this resulting duplicate shares an innate alliance with its original, and will readily aid them in battle should the need arise. Having been devised by the time of Lord Blackthorn's reign in Ultima V, Clone could be found in a mage's repertoire for centuries thereafter, up to and including the early Age of Armageddon. By the time of the Avatar's final return to Britannia in Ultima IX, however, the spell was not to be encountered by the hero.

Trivia

 * In the GOG version of Ultima V, In Quas Xen does not require nightshade, and will fail to mix if it is included.
 * Clone can be exploited in Ultima VI, when used in conjunction with Animate, to replicate gold and any equipment.
 * In Ultima VII, cloning the Avatar and then killing the resulting copy provides the only opportunity in the game for the character's corpse to appear; ordinarily, upon defeat the screen fades to black and the player awakens in Paws. Interestingly, even female Avatars get the male corpse.
