I was wondering whether I could make a simulacrum of a spellcaster and whether the simulacrum of that spellcaster could cast spells. I know that the lesser simulacrum is unable to cast spells but it does not specify whether the standard simulacrum can.
There could be complications. A Simulacrum of a Wizard has no spellbook of its own, and may not even have any spells memorised. And a Cleric's Simulacrum may not have its prayers answered, as its Deity may decide not to be fooled.
