The polygel is useable only once and turns into the item in question. It cannot be used on equipped items, but can be used on otherwise unique items such as [[sultan relics]]. It cannot be used if [[broken]] or [[rusted]]. Duplicating a chest does ''not'' duplicate its contents, but duplicating a liquid container ''does''.
The polygel is useable only once and turns into the item in question. It cannot be used on equipped items, but can be used on otherwise unique items such as [[sultan relics]]. It cannot be used if [[broken]] or [[rusted]]. Duplicating a chest does ''not'' duplicate its contents, but duplicating a liquid container ''does''. Duplicating an item that contains ammunition or an [[energy cell]] will ''not'' duplicate the ammunition or cell along with it.


Attempting to use a polygel on itself or another polygel fails and results in the following popup:{{Code Reference|class=Polygel|method=HandleEvent(InventoryActionEvent)}}

== Similar Items ==
{{favilink|cloning draught}} is an item that can create copies of living things, instead of objects. While similar in function, cloning draught is not at all mechanically related to {{name}}. Metamorphic polygel is not a liquid, and cannot be combined or used in the same way as cloning draught. They are completely different objects with different uses.

* If you're trying to raise your rep with a particularly tricky faction, such as [[trolls]], it can be easier to find one {{Favilink|Schrodinger page from the Annals of Qud}} and simply clone it with polygels rather than finding a sufficient number of faction deeds.

* It may also be desireable to duplicate certain unique items, such as sultan relics, the {{Favilink|Fist of the Ape God}}, or the {{Favilink|Sparbine}}. (Note that for this last one to be useful, you need to find a way to wield more than one two-handed missile weapon, such as a {{Favilink|gun rack}}.)

== Unreplicable Items ==
{{Spoiler|'''the Tomb of the Eaters'''}}
Certain items cannot be replicated by {{name}}:
 
{{#cargo_query:tables=GeneralData,ExtraInfo
|fields=CONCAT('{{((}}favilink id{{!}}',GeneralData.ObjectID,'{{))}}')=Item
|join on=GeneralData.ObjectID=ExtraInfo.ObjectID
|where= ExtraInfo.Info LIKE "%Unreplicable,%"
|format=table
|order by=GeneralData.Tier DESC
}}
