    Title: Light spell fx bug if applied on chaotic clone
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? Perfomance drain
    Details: See below please
    Steps to Reproduce: make a group of 2 people. One casts Chaotic Clone. The other character casts Light spell (sun tree) on the Chaotic Clone copy and the owner. The light icon buff will vanish accordnly BUT the visual FX will stay (and most important will REAPPLY every time, draining fps and over saturating everything)
    User Specs:
    OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor (12) System RAM: 32684
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU RAM: 8043

    Area: Novia_R4_City_Desolis

    i wasn't able to replicate this particular failure, perhaps it does require a partner, but even alone there's definitely something buggy going on.

    i cast chaotic clone
    i cast light on myself
    i cast light on the clone
    i cast light on myself again. the old one correctly disappeared after a moment of overlap
    i cast light on the clone again. the old one correctly disappeared after a moment of overlap
    i right clicked and cancel the light on me. the light over the clone went out instead, though the clone is still showing the buff icon and i am not.

    this only happened the first time i did this sequence. the second and third times it correctly dispelled my light.

    not verifying this until i test with another person (and check to see if it's a windows thing), just adding this info in the meantime.

    To add:
    (Allow Friendly Buff Replacement Off or On seems to make no difference)

    - Friend casting light on the clone applied the floating light ball to non-clone.
    - Friend casting light on me applied a 2nd floating light ball to non-clone
    - I dismissed the light spell on myself, but the 2 floating light balls remained
    - I dismissed the clone, and the 2 floating light balls remain.
    - Changing scenes removed the 2 light balls

    I do not notice any FPS hit from this however.
    Letting the timer expire on Light does not remove the 2 light balls or the effect.

    Repro took 1 minute:
    2 accounts. 2 characters. One casts Lights on the other chaotic clone.
    Every cast dimmer the light more, and more, and more. till oversaturating.
    Also if you carefully watch there are multiple floationg lights stacking each others
    This destroy fps on my side:
    amd 5600x nvidia 3070 OC m2 32gb 4000mhz 3400x1440p

    This is why i posted this into perfomances related, even if this is a skill.........

    every 20 or 30 casts a 3070 nvidia dual oc goes from 70 to 10 on the above rig

    I can’t test at that resolution unfortunately - when I tested it was with 2 characters on the same PC at 1920x1080. Can you reproduce this FPS issue at this lower resolution by any chance? Thanks.
