![]() He lures her to his dimension and taints her soul with evil then trains her in sorcery. Evil Enemiesīelasco, limbo’s demon-lord, seeks Magik as a replacement. ![]() After becoming Darkchilde, her demon form, and later when she uses her magic, hooves and horns are known to appear as well. The armor protects her from physical and magical attacks, enhances her strength and shields her from the Transmode Virus. When Magik taps into her magical powers, mystical armor appears to cover her body known as Eldritch armor. Magik becomes the Sorceress Supreme of limbo, using a mixture of white and black magic to cast binding spells and energy blasts, heal, wipe memories, perform scrying, project an astral form, and other talents however, on Earth, her magic is weaker. Magik also possesses exceptional psionic shields able to thwart Earth’s most powerful telepaths. She uses an axe in battle until she reclaims her Soulsword. After a battle with Belasco, Jimaine takes possession of the Soulsword, and hides it inside her adopted brother Nightcrawler’s own body. She gives it to Amanda Sefton (alias sorceress Jimaine Szardos), who in turn passes it on to her mother, Margali Szardos. 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.

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.

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.
