What it does

Three mirror dancers ring you at 1.5 tiles, circling once every 2 s, for 8 s. Each takes one hit meant for you and shatters: a projectile that touches a dancer first, or a melee blow, slam or charge whose arc covers a dancer when it lands. Creatures choosing a target near you pick a dancer half the time (re-picked each second). While any dancer stands, your dodges cost half stamina. Dancers are spectral ally bodies (one hit each), no loot, never saved. A breath stream shatters one dancer per tick.
