-	Dittomancers ~~may be~~ able to make copies of other units, in a fashion similar to [[croakamancy]]. Eg, the more attention spent on each individual unit, the more like the original it will be. It may be possible to duplicate an entire army, but the resulting copies would likely have very low stats and last only for a single turn.	+	Dittomancers have been shown to able to make copies of other units, in a fashion similar to [[croakamancy]].
