| Level: | 5 |

| Prerequisite: | 2 Doppelganger's Shadow maneuvers |
| Initiation Action: | Swift Action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Target: | Self |
This feared technique creates a shadowy doppelganger of the disciple, which follows through attacks with it own.
When you enter this stance, you create a shadowy copy of yourself which remains adjacent to you. This copy behave as if it was a copy from the mirror image spell, except there is only one and it does not vanish if damaged. Since the copy is clearly shadowy, opponents able to perceive it can avoid striking it by taking a -2 penalty to hit on their attack roll.
Whenever you initiate a melee attack strike it also initiates that strike. The copies use your attack and damage as if you initiated the strike yourself. The copy is only able to replicate a strike with an initiating time of a standard action or lower. Whenever you make a full-attack, the copy makes a single attack at your highest attack bonus -5.
