So I was looking at simulcrum (Slightly mad immortal wizard who occasionally creates inferior duplicates of themselves to play chess with, they don't use the permanent version because then they'd have the inferior copy around permanently). It occured to me that in the lesser version the restriction "This spell functions as simulacrum, except you can’t create a simulacrum of a creature whose HD or levels exceed your caster level, and it has no magical abilities. " isn't just a wizards spell casting. Its any magical ability e.g. a genies wish granting (level debate aside) and that led me to ponder the following question . . .
Is the magical ability not granted by lesser simulcrum only "magic" abilities or is it any superantural ability in the same way anti-magic field suppressses supernatural abiltiies. That covers a much wider range of abilities including things like a monks ki pool and ki abilities for the unchained monk.
So what do people think would a lesser simulcrum only be missing "magic" abilities that spell resistance can protect against or would it be any supernatural ability like antimagic field suppresses?
Is it an ability? Is it magical? Then it isn't granted. Supernatural abilities are magical, ergo they are not granted. Spell resistance is irrelevant.
