Editing Ignis Fatuus (section)

==Trivia==
*Ignis Fatuus is only named in the tags of the chapters he appears in.
*The term ''ignis fatuus'' means a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will-o%27-the-wisp will-o-the-wisp] - a malevolent ghost that leads travelers astray - or more generally something that misleads or deludes; whereas "Eidolon" means an idealized image or phantom of a person.
*Had [[Wildbow]] not received more donations, Ignis Fatuus would have played a larger role in the story, serving as a catalyst for [[Skitter]] to investigate the setting's lore earlier than she did in the canon storyline. Consequently, Worm would have been far shorter.<ref name="SB26">Had there been no donations, it would have been a much smaller story. I probably would have killed off Tattletale, to gut Taylor's access to information she shouldn't have and keep her more on the same page with the reader, and I would have gotten more in depth with the whole 'figuring stuff out' bit. Clone-Eidolon's (Ignis Fatuus') big speech would have made her flip the fuck out. I probably would have driven her out of Brockton Bay to just get her out there and interacting with more setting elements (with a lot more emphasis on Faultline). The story would have been far shorter. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/13643964 Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref>
