The Simulacrum spell creates an imperfect duplicate that closely resembles the caster physically and mentally. This spell pattern was developed by the crystal hand monks in an attempt to perfect themselves through examination and exercise. The duplicate was capable of mimicking the caster's own martial style and could even anticipate how the caster would react. The simulacrum served as formidable sparring partners.
Ritual spell that creates an illusionary image that will attack the caster. No actual damage can be done but the resulting maneuvering around would train either tactics, brawling, athletics or perhaps some combo of the three depending on what maneuver it asked you to perform. It would be on a cooldown similar to how read the ripples is and train in a similar fashion but instead of observing it would require tactical, or brawling type maneuvers.
There could possibly be a meta spell for different training types, one for Athletics, one for Brawling and the base could be Tactics. It would be esoteric and require knowledge of at least the starlight sphere spell with perhaps another.
