fight. After defeating the original, the clever duplicate

SPELLBREAKER

SPELLDRINKER SPELL TOME
SPELL
TOMES Wondrous item, varies (requires attunement by a
spellcaster)

A spell tome bears the words of a single spell, written
in a mystical cipher. Unlike scrolls that vanish from
use, a spell tome can be used as a source of casting an
inscribed spell. If the spell is on your class’s spell list,
you can read the tome and cast its spell without
providing any material components. Otherwise, the
tome is unintelligible. Casting the spell by reading the
tome requires the spell’s normal casting time. Once the
spell is cast, the words on the tome fade for a time,
and you can’t cast the tome’s spell again until the next
dawn. If the casting is interrupted, the charge is not
used.

If the spell is on your class’s spell list but of a higher
level than you can normally cast, you must make an
attribute check using your spellcasting attribute to
determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC
equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell
fails and you can’t attempt to cast it again until the
next dawn.

The level of the spell on the tome determines the
spell’s saving throw DC and attack bonus, as well as
the tome’s rarity, as shown in the Spell Tome table.

A mage spell on a spell tome can be copied just as
spells in spellbooks can be copied. When a spell is
copied from a spell tome, the copier must succeed on
an Intelligence (Arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 +
the spell's level. If the check succeeds, the spell is
successfully copied. Whether the check succeeds or
fails, the spell tome is destroyed.
