Parallel Existence

Parallel Existence is a sub-Skill of certain Ultimate Skill s which allows the user to establish multiple doubles of themselves.

There are several notable advantages that Parallel Existence has over the Body Double skill. One, the user can divide bits of their consciousness into each double, achieving complete autonomy, and most notably; any copy becomes the user's main body should their initial one die. It's akin to having multiple versions of yourself. Meanwhile, bodies created through the Body Double skill require the main body to consciously control all actions through Thought Communication or otherwise, with the risk of them dissipating if something happens to the user. All copies created through Parallel Existence share magic power between them, so the user isn't required to split their magic force – each copy has access to their full energy capacity. Access to ultimate skills is not restricted, either.

The more bodies the user has out, the more it reduces the maximum energy each individual one can tap. Also, if a body is destroyed, the energy that was divided to it will not be returned immediately.

History
The skill Parallel Existence is most known for its use by the Scorch Dragon Velgrynd during her attacks against Tempest in the war between Tempest/Dwargon and the Eastern Empire. It allowed her to fight all the elite forces Tempest had on the field at once while still having a copy of herself with Rudra Nam Ul Nasca to provide him protection.
