Also, this would just break the game. If I'm reading it right, a level 20 wizard can spend 10 minutes to make 20 level 19 minions for nothing? So a powerful evil mage can make 960 powerful minions a day with little effort.
In addition to fixing wording, it should not be less than level 5, should require an expensive component (probably consumed), should not take less than an hour to cast, should not produce more than INT mod of minions, should have a range of touch, and should be dispelled if cast again.

Is this reasonable or what would you change? So much possible utility for PC or NPCs. Such as PCs- create copies of the guy you have to protect.
The wording is kind of a mess.
