Cre Wallace
Illyana Rasputina is a Russian mutant, demonstrating immense proclivity towards the mystic arts. She was kidnapped as a child and taken to the hellish dimension of Limbo where she grew up learning the dark arts while her soul was tainted with black magic. In time she overthrew Limbo's demonic ruler to become Demon Queen of Limbo. On Earth, she became the New Mutant codenamed Magik, and began the quest to restore her soul.
Adaptable:
Illyana's streak of independence is coupled with a Russian fatalism that can endure bitter winters, starvation, and every horrific thing nature and government throw at her. She will get through, and she will figure out a way to do it on her own. She rejected the collar imposed by Belasco, everything else is a comparative walk in the park. Illyana is a true survivor, capable of doing whatever it takes to carry on to tomorrow. Throw her in the worst environment imaginable, she'll manage to come through somehow. Her flexibility in thinking and actions has saved her life many times, many ways. Belasco broke her to make her like quicksilver, responding with whatever she had at hand. She's a mental MacGuyver, able to cobble together solutions from nothing.
Creative:
The art of magic is founded on changing the world according to the vision or image held in the mind's eye. Or, simpler: make it be. This requires curiosity and unbridled creativity. It's a fundamental aspect of her who she is. Being adaptable and flexible to scenarios as they come releases her to act, rather than be paralyzed by indecision. Her creative side pushes her relentlessly. Her education and experiences honed her immense imaginative gifts in unusual directions, refined further by some of the finest mystic tutelage available. Present her with a situation and she observes patterns from unexpected angles. She constantly seeks to step outside her own boundaries and explore the unknown. When her power is literally built on dynamism, this is the most fundamental expression of her personality: change, growth, and transformation.
Independent:
She knows who she is, what she wants, and how to get it. Anyone standing between her and that is going to have a hell of a hard time. You can also call this 'tough as nails and stubborn as a mule.' Illyana retained her identity through harrowing, dark times. She preserved a spark of herself against towering odds. Pulling herself back from near death, defying her 'master,' and overthrowing him in a coup with fanatical demons at her back practically worshipping her evil side requires a very certain sense of self. She claimed the throne of Limbo under horrible circumstances, so standing on her own feet and calling the shots is second nature. That's not to say she cannot work with others or she is blind to her own faults. She can. With few illusions about what and who she is, she treasures the ability to choose for herself. Even when those decisions are bitterly difficult, she stands by them. Not the type to follow blindly, she applies a healthy dose of self-reflection and analysis to a situation before acting - most of the time.
Ruthless:
The dark side of Illyana's personality isn't just a byproduct of her Russian background. Torture leaves scars on people and much of her time in Limbo involved psychological torment. To survive, she had to refine the broken pieces of her childish psyche into an adamantine will, but that meant sacrificing innocence and her softer side along the way. Illyana pursues goals with an unwavering commitment, beneficial when you want someone who will go the extra mile or ten. She might stop at nothing to achieve that goal, reckoning the ends justify whatever means are necessary. That may include pain or murder - and in her eyes, demons or their parallels might just be deserving of that treatment. She absolutely must keep herself in check through raw willpower rather than falling into a vengeful cycle. The upside is she yearns for her soul intact, and most over, peace. Harmony. The kinds of things attained so easily by the brightest in their world, like Doctor Strange. She is driven to find the levers to escape Belasco's long shadow, overcoming the damage done to her that she can't heal for all her power. Illyana doesn't know how to cope long-term with humanity slipping away, the callous ravages of time and fighting, even on the side of good. It has a cost. The antidote is found among those she trusts most, those who ground her and give her reason to carry on.
Willful:
Illyana holds to her values with incredible ferocity. She knows the cost of losing herself all too well. Three pieces of her soul have been tainted, leaving only two pure. This darkness urges her to do bad things. It makes her care less about others and more about herself. Her corruption makes her want to cross that line, falling into the shadows. Better to rule from below than be subjected to another's yoke from above, she figures, and that seductive call isn't always obvious or clear. Illyana has plenty of experience resisting the darkness of her nature, especially obvious threats. Only those she cares about and her own willpower have kept her on the straight and narrow, although once in a while she will stray from that path and need to be brought back.
Adamant Will:
Magic is purely a matter of belief and enforcing one's will on reality to shape it. Illyana has an enormous wellspring of discipline and resolve to call upon, shutting out distractions to perform intricate spells in the midst of combat. Her mental endurance far and away exceeds what her age would credit her with. Her deeply-rooted purpose gave her the strength to survive in Limbo and ultimately throw down Belasco. It's the backstop preventing her cataclysmic fall into an infernal gateway for the Elder Gods. She resists the temptations of her dark side, and everything arrayed against her, every minute she draws breath.
Darkchilde:
Her partially demonic soul may fully manifest, particularly when Illyana loses control of herself. Thus, she resists this transformation unless utterly necessary. She acquires demonic traits, such as horns, razor-sharp fangs and claws, a prehensile tail, and digitigrade legs ending in vicious cloven hooves. The Darkchilde form is immune to natural and supernatural heat, fire, and firearms; it has durability, strength, and agility far exceeding human limits. She can lift several tons easily, with a greater strength while in Limbo. The Darkchilde form is clearly infernal and tends to terrorize civilians. While channeling her darker side, Illyana is more prone to violence and passionate, impulsive behaviours that put her at risk of further corrupting her soul.
Eldritch Armor:
Much like her brother, Illyana can manifest protective armour that resembles the gleaming organic steel he transforms into. Unlike him, her Eldritch Armour takes wildly different forms and styles according to her whim. It manifests with the Soulsword, typically forming a pauldron over her sword arm or a forked headband able to offer total protection in an instant. With a thought, the armour can cover her body or form specific pieces according to her need.
It protects her against mundane and supernatural weapons, turning aside deadly blades and explosive impacts. Little penetrates its surface. Most energy blasts dissipate harmlessly after striking her. Armour, however, is still armour. It does not offer as much protection from falling or crushing damage; enough force will break bones or knock her out. Neither is the armour seamless, so precision strikes bypassing protected areas can hurt her.
Enhanced:
Illyana gained special abilities when she forged the Soulsword and further supernatural gifts after becoming Queen of Limbo. She can lift up to 500 kg. unassisted and gains considerable durability, reflexes, and stamina. However, she is not immune to being injured normally unless she is armoured or protected by her spells. Due to living in a hell dimension, she developed an extreme pain tolerance and resilience to shock. Her body heals at a normal mortal rate, but in Limbo, she has a greatly accelerated healing rate. Crippling injuries repair in hours, and moderate damage heals in minutes. If she manipulates reality, she could conceivably repair genetic damage, regrow limbs or save someone's life.
Pain Tolerance:
Demons and immortal sorcerers tortured Illyana throughout her childhood. She faced hideous injuries and her fragments of her soul being ripped from her body in Limbo. As a New Mutant, she faced psychological and physical torments, including her own agonizing death that she eventually came back from. She ignores its lesser permutations and shoves back on the major incarnations. She can function and push through levels of pain that put others in the fetal position, ignoring the debilitating effects. Pain gets her attention only when she is on the brink of unconsciousness or death.
Psionic Shielding:
Exposure to dark magic and Limbo's own peculiar properties left Illyana's mind deeply resistant to any kind of manipulation. Charles Xavier could barely read her thoughts with her cooperation as a child. The situation has only intensified with an intensely private nature. Her shielding resists psychics on par with David Haller, Jean Grey, and Emma Frost. In short, if she refuses to drop her guard, they won't get in or sense or psionically. This might be deeply disturbing to telepaths.
Sight:
Illyana detects the flowing pulse of magic around her subconsciously. This is now a reflexive function of her perception, like seeing specific colours. Magical beings and objects have a unique signature, an aura that stands out to her based on their magnitude of power. Active spells burn an impression on her, and by studying the auras of a spell, place or being, she can conceivably learn a great deal about its mystic composition. Sensing magic takes more effort to shut out, making it possible a large working or sudden magical burst can temporarily stun her on Earth.
Sorcery:
Illyana is among the greatest human sorcerers, the Sorcerer Supreme of Limbo and unequaled within the dimension. If Earth's title became vacant, she is a prime candidate in her own right to serve the role, and the Vishanti know it. Her aged mentor served Oshtur and the goddess stands opposed to the dark Elder Gods trying to break into the world through Illyana herself.
Illyana's mastery over the Mystic Arts is exceptional. She uses classical forms and techniques to control, shape, and manipulate the elements and raw magical force; fashion shields and wards; evoke and banish spirits; weave illusions; transform the properties of items; create and shape objects; heal or damage; bestow blessings or curses; manipulate thoughts and dreams; temporarily alter the shape or appearance of living things. She detects magic and mystical presences with her innate Sight, but she can greatly amplify her range by concentrating on the flows of power around her. She uses ritual magic to achieve greater or lasting spells, and works in conjunction with other practitioners of the mystic arts to achieve blended or enhanced effects. Her profound expertise spans a wide sweep of traditions and techniques.
However, Illyana is specialized in the darkest and most forbidden forms of magic. She extensively studied channeling and dimensional magic, particularly identifying, binding, and controlling extraplanar entities. This comes naturally and easily, which is why she avoids it. Her lengthy training in 'white magic,' those with most benevolent effects, is equally broad but difficult due to her corrupted soul. These spells take extra effort, either by time, components or lengthy modifications to turn out correctly. She works with other master spellcasters in classical traditions to improve this limitation, since she prefers to use spells rooted in white traditions.
Soulsword:
Illyana fashioned a weapon from a portion of her uncorrupted soul, the Soulsword, one of the most powerful and devastating magical artifacts known. It serves as an embodiment of her sorcerous power and a focus for spells, her authority over Limbo and a reminder of the purity she seeks. Its shape is vastly mutable, though typically a sabre or greatsword, though it even takes on staff form if needed. She can draw it from nothing or summon it by stepping disk, and it answers her call at need.
The Soulsword has a horrific effect against magic, shattering ritual spells or incantations it touches, unraveling illusions, and laying low through magical beings. Few supernatural entities can withstand the Soulsword, including even Cyttorak when she wielded it in Limbo. It works less spectacularly against mundane objects, but manifested as a radiant, burning sword fueled by mystic power, it can slice deep into reinforced metal, dismember Sentinels, and deflect projectiles or bullets.
The Soulsword cannot usually cut regular, non-magical beings. The blade simply passes through them, a singularly agony-inducing experience. Illyana must actively intend to harm a mundane being with the Soulsword to injure them this way, and it risks her soul. (See +weaknesses)
Teleportation:
Limbo connects to all places and all times, thus existing everywhere and always. Temporal and spatial rules apply differently there. Unpredictable portals connected to Limbo can appear anywhere, linked to different locations and times. Illyana's mutation controls these portals, manifesting a "stepping disk" with a specific destination linked to any place or time, regardless of distance, as she desires.
Her stepping disks appear as she thinks of them, allowing for combat permutations like vanishing bullets, redirecting attacks or teleporting targets to safety. She uses the portals to create freefall windows or imprison her enemies in Limbo to deal with later, a favourite tactic.
Among the most powerful teleporters encountered, Illyana can transport herself or her targets to any destination with pinpoint accuracy. She can move many people over up to interstellar distances, and need not accompany targets when transporting them to a destination or conjuring them to herself.
