I was reading through some of my older FSN posts as well as the spoilerific Wikipedia entry for Emiya Shirou, and I became intrigued about Shirou’s eventual mastery of his Tracing ability. So I thought I’d consult the readers:
Shouldn't Future-GAR-Shirou be able to Trace out multiple copies of Rin and Saber?

“all transmuted objects suffer a degradation in quality” – Wikipedia
So does this mean Saber becomes Sader after Tracing.
OH NOES!!!!
I think Shirou’s eventual skill prevents such a large drop in quality… hopefully.
Only in doujinland, Kabitz…
It depends
He would need a philosopher stone for human transmutations
SPOILERS-
Tracing a living object would be too hard anyway and would degrade too quickly.
To be honest and completely answer your question, no. It wouldn’t be impossible. Creating something like that using Projection (a form of Trace which creates an object from the user’s imagination) would not only be highly costly in energy (to a point where it may kill him instantly) and disappear within minutes of its creation but it’s not within Shirou’s ability.
To be blunt and to the point, Shirou can only make swords. That’s his specialty and that’s all he’s good for.
