Item idea: Narcissus, or Abel 2.0.

IDEA

A familiar that mimics Isaacs movements, attacks and familiars in every room. Its movement pattern is similar to the way Abel moves with Isaac. He looks like Isaac and has the same items as Isaac, but he's partly transparent, making it possible to distinguish them. BUT this familiar can take damage, making it in some cases a negative item. I haven't really thought this one that much through, but I think it could be a really fun item in some cases. And shit in other cases.

EDIT: It also mimics spacebar items, and runes and pills and cards, if the doubling makes any sense, that is. I.e. item drops and tear effects and so on

Whats more difficult than controlling one lost? Just kidding with you, very intresting item, could be a pain sometimes but hey, more brimstones!

Yeah, as I said, pretty horrible in a lot of cases! But imagine having two ludovicos or double tammy's head uses! It's an item that has high risks but also high rewards!

I was just thinking about this! Maybe it could be something like "Multiple Personality Disorder", causing more Isaacs to sometime appear for each room. What would be really strange is if an extra 1 to 3 Isaacs could appear, with their controls split around the center point in the room.

Oh god. If you have one Isaac in every corner you're so screwed if there's more than three enemies in the room!

It would be mind-bending to control, but also 4x the DPS! I was thinking maybe only 1 Isaac would take damage but it wouldn't be immediately clear which one :P

Oh yeah, you'd have to do something about the scrolling issue. :/

I really like it, and the name is perfect (not Abel 2.0, of course).

Just buff Abel... It's supposed to be your reward for beating the Dark Room with Cain.

These two items are not the same at all though, even though the movement pattern are different the result in very different gameplay changes. I totally agree on the Abel buff though!
