"Ghost Shadow Incarnation" was a secret manual that Su Hao came up with when he wasn't sure whether Ah Yan could completely "control" the ghost minions.
Unlike a clone, the incarnation could exist for a long time. It was an extension of the solidified armament. The fundamental theory came from Butterfly's "Spiritual Orb Splitting Movement Technique".
In the league, Butterfly could rely on the perfectly controlled clones constructed by the "Spiritual Orb" to cover a large area a few kilometers or more and share perception as well as information.
Apart from having limited energy and weaker combat abilities, there was basically no difference between the clone and the main body. Sprites skilled in sensing couldn't be able to sense anything wrong either.
"Ah Yan's' Ghost Orb 'needs to use a shadow elemental crystal as the core. I also need to throw away its amplification and diverse applications, and only use it as the core of the incarnation."
