If you break a Mirror of Opposition once it has created a duplicate, does the duplicate go away? And, if it does, how is this item possibly worth 92K?

Does that happen with other magic items, that their magic lingers even if you sunder it?

If a sorcerer casts mage armor on his fellow monk and then gets killed, his mage armor still lasts for the rest of its normal duration.
no book with me atm, so I can't look it up.
If the item does not specifically say what happens in this case, look at the prerequisite creation spell....If its a spell that has a duration then I would say it would keep going for the normal duration. If it is a spell that requires concentration, than the effect should probably end after any -bonus rounds- the spell might normally have(like high level illusions) or alternately last for as many rounds as the items caster level....I guess that is a house rule...then again so is making the images disappear at all excepting the guidelines the magic item stipulates.
As a DM, I would tell the PCs that they have no idea exactly what will happen if they try to destroy the mirror....and then point out that they could be wasting their precious actions while their equally deadly counterpart is trying to kill them. Its especially risky if they dont have improved sunder and will be provoking AoOs etc...
In a duel between equal fighters....the one who hits first is usually the one who hits last.

Personally, I think the PCs are likely to be a little busy dealing with a sudden evil twin, so even if they decide to try and break the mirror they're likely to get whacked. I discovered that this item is extremely broken when I rolled one randomly in a powerful dragon's hoard. The party kept the mirror and used it later to generate a duplicate of a Pit Fiend they were fighting. Annoying doesn't begin to cover it. There is no save allowed for the Mirror, it just creates a duplicate that tries to kill the original. Wow.

Boingy! Boingy!
That hardly sounds like a problem to me.
Me: "The mirror of opposition creates a duplicate pit fiend. It immediately attacks the original devil.
Later in the combat.
Me: "The original pit fiend teleports away. The duplicate looks a bit put out for a second or two...and then it turns on all of you."

I like Mark Chance's idea.
Also, how did the party make sure they never appeared in the mirror? I'd sure make them fight evil twins unless they were very careful each time they uncovered it. Maybe a Ref save or something.roguerouge

1. Mirror of Opposition requires a command word to activate.
2. It's glass! If it functions as a normal mirror, it's got to be easier to break a pane of glass in one swing than to defeat yourself in battle.
3. The source spell is Clone, whose duration is instantaneous.

Ahhh, forgot about the command word...
If you want to base the duration on the spell, instantaneous means the effect has already happened as soon as the duplicate appears, right? So breaking the mirror wouldn't do anything to any duplicates already there, but I'd guess it would stop the mirror from making any more.
