When she is unable to wield it, the sword is passed to Rasputina’s best friend, Kitty Pryde. When using it, Illyana’s body becomes covered in a mysterious mystic armor. The Soulsword can disrupt most spells or slay magical beings, but which passes through normal people without harming them. It begins as a simple sword but evolves with use, both in appearance and power. Illyana is a skilled swordswoman and creates the Soulsword when she is trapped in the immortal sorcerer Belasco's limbo dimension. She draws the sword from her own life force and uses it to destroy supernatural beings and magical weapons. Possibly because limbo’s nexus status makes it close to all places and times, Magik can teleport across interstellar distances or transtemporally, and home in on specific people without knowing their exact location. Magik can teleport herself and others via circles of light dubbed stepping discs though this is apparently an innate mutant power, her demonic corruption has seemingly inextricably tied the discs to limbo, so that they also appear there randomly without Magik summoning them, and so that the discs always travel via limbo. The X-Men dote on her, especially Peter’s teenage would-be girlfriend Katherine “Kitty” Pryde. The siblings miss one another, so Peter arranges with his parents for Illyana to stay at Xavier’s School for a little while. Not trusting Locke to keep her end of the bargain, a team of X-Men reservists invade Arcade’s Murderworld and retrieve the hostages. Doom robot imprisoned the criminal Arcade, his assistant Miss Locke kidnaps the 6-year-old Illyana and other innocent hostages, forcing the X-Men to rescue Arcade. Her chance came sooner than her family thought, and most unexpectedly. Impatient and full of life, Illyana asks her parents if she would get powers too, and when she could join her brother overseas. Unknown to his family, Mikhail was a mutant, and the Russian government faked his death grief upon hearing of his demise triggers Peter’s mutant powers too, and when Illyana is five, Professor Charles Xavier, AKA Professor X, recruits Peter into his American-based mutant team, the X-Men. She takes the codename Magik and protects others with the New Mutants.Ī late addition to the Rasputin family, Russian farm girl Illyana Nikolievna Rasputina was the beloved “little snowflake” of her parents and older brother Piotr (“Peter”), born a year after the apparent death of her eldest brother, the cosmonaut Mikhail Rasputin. As little sister to Colossus, she eventually joins him on Earth-616 alongside the X-Men as a permanent member. Illyana Rasputin is a mutant teleporter mage and the occasional demon queen of limbo.
