Can they purposefully drop a clone, or is it reactionary only? And how visible are we talking about the ripples, here? Because if they're too visible, that defeats the purpose.

With the time limit, I'd make it so that it will increase with practise and no hard cap, but keep the 5 seconds at tier 2 thing just to show the steady increase so that we know that it won't jump to 30 seconds instantly. And a clarifier on 'decent hits' would be nice; perhaps the clone instead can take damage worth up to 20% of the user's natural aura reserves, increasing to 40% at tier two?

That means that a really strong enemy who would knock out 60% of her aura in one hit would instakill her clones, but a person who does very light hits that only do maybe 4% damage to her aura would take longer to discover the ruse.
