Could one ask for a… hooves-on tutorial?

You ask Ruby Heart to teach you how to use the ring of clone.

Ruby Heart: "Certainly! Please come… this way."

After following Ruby Heart through the door to the trial rooms, you walk down a long hallway of doors until you reach one labeled "Private" with a sliding panel showing "Vacant".

Inside the room, you find a wide divan along the far wall, and a showering area. Ruby Heart closes the door behind her, and slides the panel to "Occupied".

Ruby Heart: "Cozy, isn't it? Now, let's see what we have here."

You equip Ring of Clone.

As the unicorn fastens the ring around the base of your tail, a clone of yourself materializes before you. Curious, you reach out to touch it, and to your surprise, it feels quite real.

Moonflower: "Eeeeee‼ That's double the Blazer!"

Ruby Heart: "Why, yes it is! As the name suggests, this ring of clone creates an illusory copy of its wearer. Any creature may see, hear, smell, taste, and touch — or be touched by — the clone, and controlling it is as simple as thinking it."

Without much thought, your clone begins to nuzzle Moonflower, and the bat pony is more than happy to respond in kind.

Ruby Heart: "Intuitive, isn't it? Do keep in mind, however, that your clone must remain within your line of sight, and that it cannot interact with physical objects by itself.

Speaking of which, if you are interested in trying more of our products, you are more than welcome to borrow them from our shop."

Moonflower: "Heehee! I like this place a lot! But shouldn't we be goin' back to Marine Wave's house soon?"

Your pocket watch indicates ten to twelve.
