The spell creates an illusory duplicate of the caster.
The duplicate can appear and move about anywhere within the range of the spell.
The duplicate does not need to mimic the caster's actions and can be made to walk around, speak, or any like activity. The duplicate is otherwise an illusion and cannot affect the environment. Controlling the duplicate is a minor action and the duplicate can be programmed to act in a certain way if not being controlled.
If the caster casts a spell while the duplicate exists, the caster can have the duplicate perform any verbal or somatic components of the spell and, when cast, the caster can have the spell originate from the duplicate. This includes touch spells - the duplicate "attacks" as would the caster.
Limitations
The caster MUST maintain line of sight with the duplicate. If the caster's vision is obstructed, the spell fails/ends immediately.
As it relates to invisibility, any "attack action" by the duplicate is considered an attack by the caster.
Material Components. A finely made doll duplicate of the caster. If not constructed by a caster with comprehension of this spell, the doll is imperfect and the range and duration is halved. The doll is not consumed when the spell is cast. Cost/Scarcity. 300 gp/Unique (1d4 weeks of crafting time). If crafted by an artisan (non-caster), the doll can be constructed for 100 gp.
Known Additions/Substitutions. None.
