Quantum Fugue is a more powerful variant of the Temporal Fugue mutation. When a creature activates it, it creates multiple copies of that creature. The number of copies and the duration for which those copies exist scales in the same way as Temporal Fugue; see that page for more information.

Improvements relative to Temporal Fugue

Relative to Temporal Fugue, Quantum Fugue has a few advantages[1]:

  • It has a lower default cooldown of 100 rounds, relative to Temporal Fugue's 200 rounds.
  • At the end of Quantum Fugue, the original creature swaps into the body of the healthiest copy (measured by number of remaining hitpoints).
  • Quantum Fugue is unaffected by sources of normality, such as normality gas or the RealityStabilization part.

However, unlike Temporal Fugue, the cooldown of Quantum Fugue is unaffected by creatures' Willpower.
