**Magik** (*Illyana Nikolievna Rasputina*) is a mutant sorceress who rules the demonic realm known as Limbo.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Teleportation:** Magik has the mutant ability to mentally control "stepping discs", which allow herself and others to teleport across interstellar distances, through time, or through the multiverse. The discs are part of a dimension known as Limbo. When Magik mentally calls for a stepping disc, she must use Limbo as a midway point before she can teleport to an alternate location. It is not known if she was genetically predetermined to travel through Limbo or if her experiences as a child made her instinctively aware of the dimension. Magik has succeeded in teleporting herself across continents, from one continent to another, and even interplanetary and intergalactic distances on occasion.

* **Time Travel:** Unlike most teleporters, Magik can also teleport through time as well as space. She has teleported moments, days, and centuries into the past and future. Early on, she had difficulty modulating this ability and would often inadvertently travel through time and space while intending to only travel through space.

**Magic:** Magik is the Sorceress Supreme of Limbo. The extent of her powers while in Limbo are all-powerful, and the demons of Limbo do not dare to challenge her. Magik had access to Belasco's store of mystical knowledge, and as such, her current magical knowledge is a mixture of black magic learned from him and white magic taught to her by an alternate-reality Ororo Munroe. She was considered as a possible Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, and as an adult, she has trained with Doctor Strange.

* **Spell Casting:** As a sorceress, Magik channels her mystical powers through the use of spells. As such, she has utilized spells to the following effects:
	+ **Energy Manipulation:** Magik can project powerful energy blasts and has used an energy manipulation spell to manipulate energy that was being wielded by Sentinels, causing them to destroy each other by redirecting the energy. The spell was called "Julani's spell of energy manipulation" from the Scrolls of Agamotto.
		- **Energy Blasts**
	+ **Exorcism:** When Sunspot and Wolfsbane were possessed by Cloak and Dagger's powers respectively, Magik was able to use an exorcism spell to purify their souls and restore the powers back to their original owners.
	+ **Clairvoyance:** While in Limbo, Magik used a scrying spell that manifested as three mirrors together to see what was happening on Earth.
	+ **Matter Manipulation:** Magik was able to use a matter manipulation spell to change her clothes and that of the New Mutants to X-Uniforms.
	+ **Force Field Generation:** Magik used a defensive shield spell from the Book of the Vishanti that she had memorized. She also used a spell she memorized from the Scrolls of Agamotto to protect her and Magneto.
* **Summoning:** Magik can store her Soulsword in nothingness and summon it whenever she desires. She has also summoned a giant, demonic hydra to fight for her. On another occasion, she summoned giant demonic hands from the ground to rise up and destroy a reinforced prison bunker wall to free Cyclops.
* **Astral Projection:** She possesses the ability to project her spirit or astral body out of her physical body in order to travel through the spirit world or astral plane.
* **Telekinesis:** Magik has used her magic to bind someone and prevent them from moving.
* **Conjuration:** The more that Magik uses her magical powers on any occasion, the more mystical armor appears on her body. The nature and origin of this armor are unknown. Along with the armor, Magik's appearance becomes more demonic, including developing horns, hooves, and a tail. The mystical armor is a natural power of whoever rules in Limbo.

**Psychic Shields:** Magik has impenetrable psionic shields that are most likely a result of the time she spent in Limbo and the effects of having a partially demonic soul. As such, even powerful telepaths such as Charles Xavier and Legion cannot mentally read her thoughts or psionically sense her.

#### Former Powers

**Phoenix Force:** Magik was one of the five avatars of the Phoenix Force which granted her the great powers of the Phoenix.

* **Interstellar Flight:** A Phoenix Force avatar can fly unaided through the vacuum of space and can travel interstellar distances faster than the speed of light.
* **Cosmic Fire Manipulation:** Avatars of the Phoenix Force can create cosmic flames under any conditions, including under impossible ones such as in a vacuum or underwater. These flames do not require oxygen to burn, and they burn so intensely that matter is consumed by them without producing byproducts, such as ash.
* **Telepathy:** Phoenix Force avatars can project their thoughts into the minds of others and read minds at near boundless levels.
* **Telekinesis:** Avatars can also control and manipulate matter on a molecular scale.

### Abilities

* **Magical Knowledge:** Magik is highly skilled in the use of black magic from Limbo.
* **Armed Combat:** She is highly skilled in the use of ancient weaponry, specifically axes and swords.
	+ **Swordsmanship**
	+ **Axemanship**
* **Multilingualism:** Although a native Russian speaker, Magik was taught fluent English by Professor X over the course of a single night through telepathic programming of her brain while she slept. She also speaks the demonic script.
