"Ha! That was but the first of many times I supposedly met death at the hands of my enemies." —Archmage Horazon

Archmage's Vicalyke

The Archmage's Vicalyke gives your Mirror Images a chance to multiply when an enemy kills them. For the Wizard this turns the normally fragile clones into a self-sustaining army: instead of simply vanishing, dying images can spawn new ones, providing lasting pressure, distraction, and damage sources.

It suits Mirror Image-centric builds that deploy clones offensively or as bait. You can also run the power from the armor slot of Kanai's Cube. Combine it with items that boost the damage or longevity of Mirror Images so the multiplication chain keeps running as long as possible.

The Condition: Enemies Have to Strike

The power only triggers when enemies kill a Mirror Image. A clone nobody attacks will never multiply. So the power comes alive in the thick of a fight, where enemies actually attack the images - cast them away from enemies and nothing happens. The more attackers pile onto them, the more often the power gets a chance, and every newly created image can in turn spawn more when it dies.

The power text names no fixed probability, and the power has no range either. Two Vicalykes therefore only differ in their other properties.

What to Look for in the Stats

The hat rolls +626–750 Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence; as a Wizard you need Intelligence. If your copy has the wrong main stat, the Mystic can re-enchant that one property. From level 70 the hat can drop as Ancient, and a Primal Ancient copy carries the full 750 Intelligence.

Horazon's Many Deaths

In the flavor text, Archmage Horazon scoffs that this was but the first of many times he supposedly met death at the hands of his enemies. The power mirrors that motif: what enemies take for a victory produces new likenesses of the Wizard.
