Maelstrom Deception

Name: Maelstrom Deception
Cost: 100{X} to cast. 10{X} upkeep per turn.
Inflict: 400{X} damage

Above, {X} is a constant through all three; if X = 1, plug 1 into all three. If X = 5, so on.

Zone: Circular AoE from point of impact; ten yard diameter.
Effect: Niveus creates a clone, which appears to resemble him perfectly. In actuality, it is nothing more than a layer of crystal much like what he spent ten years trapped within, filled to the bursting point with the concentrated force of his Maelstrom element. It can attack just like the user, but both cannot attack in the same turn. From the turn it is made, it takes an upkeep per turn to maintain, until it is detonated. In addition, during the turn in which the clone is detonated, neither the original nor the clone can attack.
