MAGIK #1 OFERTA!

MAGIK #1 OFERTA!

When she was six years old, Illyana was abducted and brought to the United States by Arcade, who used her and several other hostages to coerce the X-Men to assist him in opposing Doctor Doom. She was rescued and brought back to the X-Mansion. Shortly thereafter, Illyana was kidnapped again, this time to the Limbo dimension by Belasco and S'ym, inhabitants of this demon dimension. She was raised there and corrupted by Belasco, who taught her black magic and sought to claim her soul to be used as a key to bring forth the Elder Gods to rule Earth. This was to have been done with the creation of a bloodstone, or a magical pendant possessing the life essence of a being who is pure or innocent. She was later tutored in the practice of white magic by that dimension's version of Storm (who turned to magic when her mutant powers waned) and eventually rebelled against Belasco. Finding the use of magic abhorrent, Limbo's version of Shadowcat trained Illyana how to proficiently use a sword in combat. Before he kidnapped Illyana, Belasco used both Storm and Shadowcat as potential gateways to freeing the Elder Gods by manipulating their souls with his evil. Both refused his magic before the process could be completed. Because of this, Illyana formed a mystical bond between both Storm and Kitty once she too was used in the same manner. A transformed Illyana becomes a powerful sorceress and ruler of Limbo in Magik (Illyana and Storm).Belasco was successful in using Illyana to create three parts of the bloodstone pendant and only needed two more in order to bring forth the Elder Gods. Realizing this, Illyana created the Soulsword and took over limbo as its new ruler. During her battle with Belasco she magically developed horns, a tail and fangs. She discovered that these new features only appear when she holds the Soulsword. After winning the battle, she banished Belasco from Limbo and claimed S'ym as her servant.[2] She then managed to return to Earth several years older, although no time had passed on Earth since her kidnapping.[3] She subsequently joined the New Mutants.
