This thought experiment, like Pun-Pun, relies on rules as written to imagine what an enterprising young wizard could aspire to do. In those RAW, whenever you cast this spell, "any currently active duplicates you created with this spell are instantly destroyed". Not "any currently active duplicate of your target are instantly destroyed".I'd be very wary of applying this "logic" to high-level magical theory. It is probably as risky as saying "if a bus travels at 50 mph and another bus travels at 50 mph in the opposite direction, they move toward each other at 100 mph, therefore, two photons should move toward each other at the speed of 2c". This is, however, a fun experiment.In a worst case scenario, our wizard should acquire/recreate the version of the spell called Sansuri's simulacrum (7th level, like the original). the version of the spell wizards can gain, along with Sansuri's spellbook, during Storm King Thunder. It requires an additional 5,000 gp worth of powdered diamond, and specifically allow a single caster to hold multiple simulacra at the same time (Sansuri has tens...) of the same creature (she decorated her castle with copies of a single aarockra).</blockquote>
