Description
The fruit gifts the one who consumes it with the ability to create replicas of themselves, other beings, or of objects and things within the world. While the replication of objects and things is the most simple of the three applications, the replication of the self is the most intuitive, and therefore the most easily understood; thus, it is the easiest application, at rookie level, while the replication of other beings is almost impossible.
At rookie level, the process of replication is heavily flawed. When self-replicating, for example, the doppelganger lacks facial features, having only eyes. How it survives is a mystery, but it lacks the capacity to smell. It has no sentience, and can follow only basic commands such as "run this way". Moreover, because these commands must be verbalized, it usually fails in any sort of combat setting. To boot, all it takes to disperse the doppelganger is tripping it, or pushing it hard enough to make it stumble. Perhaps the only real plus is that it retains the appropriate physical capacity of the original.
When replicating objects or things, it is much easier to conserve details, and even at the rookie level the flaws may be so fine as to require expert attention. Where the rookie fails at this level is the conservation of functional integrity (a knife that could slice a pineapple in a single stroke would only cut a few inches deep with that very same stroke) and the conservation of mass (a bowling ball could either feel like lifting a cotton ball or lifting a ton and anything in-between). There is also the fact that physical contact with the object or thing is necessary.
Replication of other beings is the worse. Humans and other more powerful and complex races of creatures are impossible to replicate. Common animals, such as dogs and crows, can be replicated to some degree, but familiarity is required, and when produced, the doppelganger while typically appeared like a bad work of art. It would also be non-funtional, and therefore largely superfluous. However, unlike with objects and things, it is not necessary for the animal to be present in order for it to be replicated.
