MIRROR

The clue ladder, cryptic to obvious:

5 pts: I copy everything you do, yet I've never once managed 'raise your right hand.'
4 pts: My ancient ancestors were polished bronze, not glass.
3 pts: Break me, superstition says, and you owe seven years.
2 pts: Snow White's queen interrogated hers daily.
1 pts: I show you your own reflection.

Magpies are among the only non-mammals to pass the 'mirror test' — recognizing that the reflection is themselves.
