Didn't I say I was gonna make some new Magik art after the double punch this week of her cameo (via Morph) on X-Men '97 and the appearance in Marvel Rivals
The stained glass just felt appropriate and I was in that mood

👻 at the cemetery @ruleroflimbo
The soft, dewy grass crinkled under her boots. Like every year, today saw no rain or dreariness from the clouds, sunrise to sunset, and Kitty wasn't sure she wanted to know whether that was intentional or not. She stopped in front of the headstone she'd made a point of visiting at least twice a year.
It read, Illyana Nikolievna Rasputina. Sister. Daughter. Friend. Smaller etchings underneath that marked two important dates, a birthday and the day it all ended.
It's been three years since she died.
"Hey, Yana," she started. The headstone stared back at her. Unfazed, she continued, "You'd probably hate knowing I was out in space again. I made it back in time, though. That's gotta count for something, right?" Kitty tried to smile, but it fell flat. She glanced up at the darkening sky. "I'm sorry for visiting so late. I promise it won't happen again."

( SADIE, ANYA TAYLOR-JOY )

ABOUT BASICS
FULL NAME: Illyana Nikolievna Rasputina
ALIAS: Magik
AGE: 23
AFFILIATIONS: New Mutants, occasionally X-Men
GENDER AND PRONOUNS: Cis female, she/Her
FACE CLAIM: Anya Taylor-Joy
IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS
POINT OF ORIGIN: Comics origin, taking from the original New Mutants run, some 2009 New Mutants, a lil bit of Uncanny
ABILITIES/SKILLS:
Stepping Discs: Controlling the stepping discs of Limbo allows Illyana to teleport through space and time. It’s not always exact, and she always passes through Limbo to get to where she’s going. The further out she goes, the less control she has.
Soulsword: Using a piece of her soul, Illyana forged a sword she can summon at will. It doesn’t cut through solid matter as other swords do, but rather disrupts spells and magical abilities.
Sorcery: Illyana has studied as a sorcerer under the tutelage of the demon lord Belasco since she’s was very little. She’s mostly adept at dark magic, and can struggle a bit with lighter magic, especially outside of Limbo.
HAVE THEY BROUGHT ANY FAMILY OR PETS WITH THEM: No pets! But she would enjoy a visit from Lockheed every now and then, if he ever ventures away from Kate.
ANY HEADCANONS YOU WANT OTHERS TO KNOW:
I like to think Illyana’s accent isn’t quite Russian. It’s there a little bit, but really she hasn’t lived in Siberia since she was seven years old. English was basically downloaded into her head, then she spent years in Limbo. So there’s a bit of a Russian accent, but there’s also a bit of something else. Illyana knows where she got it, but it’d be hard for others to place.
QUESTIONNAIRE
HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER FEEL ABOUT EMPEROR DOOM?
It’s admittedly pretty impressive, what he did. It’d be wrong not have some amount of respect for a man who can wrangle universes together where there was only chaos before. But she’s not really big on supreme rulers, if she’s being honest. Maybe it’s an authority thing, maybe it’s that she knows what it’s like to wrest control from one, but she certainly doesn’t feel like bowing down at his feet any time soon.
HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER FEEL ABOUT THE BATTLES? ARE THEY TRYING TO AVOID THEM? OR ARE THEY EAGER TO JUMP IN?
It’s fun! In a way. Competing in the Killoseum was an easy answer. She has magic, she has a frankly really cool sword. Besides, maybe there’s something to be learned from being right in the middle of everything. Everything is a mess, she’s still trying to figure out how the pieces all fit together and what the purpose might be, but swinging her sword in battle? That makes sense. That’ll always make sense.
WHY HAS YOUR CHARACTER ACCEPTED THEIR JOB POSITION? WILL THEY USE IT TO GET CLOSER TO DOOM? OR WILL THEY USE IT EXPLOIT HIM? OR DO THEY SIMPLY LIKE THEIR JOB?
RE: It’s fun!
(Or maybe it’s an easy outlet. Maybe she’s just so angry all the time. It’s easier to be angry than whatever else she might feel if she lets that anger be quiet for a second. If she can spend her days swinging her sword around, filling it with all that noise, it doesn’t ever have to be quiet enough to think about anything else. Or maybe, just maybe she wouldn’t mind doing something on Krakoa. She loves the younger generation more than she’d ever admit. She loves how they sometimes come to her for advice, how teaching comes easily despite what others might think. Maybe–)
It’s really fun. Just ask her.

Illyana bio
« Halston Sage, 25, she/her, Marvel comics » ∙∙ loading case file for Illyana Rasputina. known aliases, if any: Magik. current location: new york, new york. current occupation: teacher. she is known to be strong and emotionally distant, so proceed with caution. their current alliance: x-men.
Trigger warnings: kidnapping, child abuse mention, death mention, death, murder
Illyana Nikolievna Rasputina was born on a farm in Russia to Nikolai Rasputin and Alexandra Rasputina. The first few years of her life was relatively normal, at least until her brother Piotr’s mutant powers manifested. Piotr moved to the United States to attend Xavier’s, a school for mutants, and became part of the X-Men. When she was five years old she was kidnapped as leverage against her brother and the X-Men, they rescued her and she stayed in the states at Xavier’s with her brother.
She only stayed at Xavier’s for a year until she was lured to a hell dimension known as Limbo by the current ruler Belasco. Some of the X-Men travelled to Limbo to try to get her back, even having help from a Storm and Shadowcat from another universe. In their universe Illyana had escaped from Limbo while the X-Men stayed behind. For Illyana it went the opposite way, the X-Men returned to earth while Illyana remained in Limbo.
In Limbo Illyana’s soul was used to create bloodstones by Belasco as he hoped to free the Elder Gods of Limbo. The creation of the bloodstones gave Illyana magical powers while also turning her into part demon, a dark side of herself she’s always struggling to control. During her first year in Limbo the alternate universe Ororo taught her light magic, hoping Illyana would become strong enough to defeat Belasco. Cat, the alternate universe version of Kitty, disagreed with Illyana learning magic, believing all forms of magic was evil, and so she took Illyana away from Ororo’s sanctum.
For the next few years Illyana travelled across Limbo with Cat, learning how to fight and how to survive in the hell dimension, until eventually they went to confront Belasco. During the confrontation the alternate universe Nightcrawler, who’d become loyal to Belasco, was killed by Cat. They failed to stop the demon lord though and Cat was turned more demonic than she already was and became loyal to Belasco, while Illyana became his apprentice.
As Belasco’s apprentice Illyana learned much about dark magic and eventually created the second bloodstone, her mutant powers of teleportation also manifested during this time. Because of the bond created between them with the first bloodstone Illyana found it hard to go against Belasco as she wanted him to be proud of her and love her, and because there were severe consequences if she failed to meet his expectations, but when he was about to sacrifice Ororo’s soul to the Elder Gods Illyana made the impossible choice to kill her instead. Angered by Illyana’s actions Belasco banished her from the citadel and suppressed her mutant powers. Illyana was left alone in the wastelands of Limbo, though Belasco has also made it so she couldn’t die, no matter how cold, hungry or exhausted she was.
At one point Illyana accepted what it was she really wanted, revenge, and used the last of her energy to create a sword out of her own soul. The Soulsword shattered the bond and illusion created by the bloodstones and reactivated Illyana’s mutant powers. Armed with her new sword she fought Belasco and won, however she chose her humanity over killing him and he fled from Limbo. She returned to earth shortly after and found no time had passed for the X-Men who had tried to rescue her but Illyana was now almost fifteen years old rather than six.
After her return from Limbo Illyana struggled with her demonic side, at times losing control and as a result most other mutants were afraid of her. She also found it hard to balance being the new ruler of Limbo and wanting nothing to do with the place. She trained to be able to use her magic on earth and how to use it without her demon side taking over. Her power of teleportation combined with her magic and soulsword made her a force to be reckoned with and a great asset to both the New Mutants and the X-Men.
Illyana completed her studies at Xavier’s while working with the New Mutants and X-Men. Even deciding to remain at Xavier’s to teach after she finished school. She kept going on missions with both teams but she also had a habit of going off on her own when it was something involving demons or Limbo. One day she underestimated her opponent, a powerful demon and magic user who’d come to earth via Limbo. Illyana had to use all of her power in order to defeat him, and she succeeded but at the cost of her own life.
Three years after her death she was brought back to life, unknown to her Belasco brought her back. She started spending more time in Limbo and taking her position as queen over the dimension more seriously as maybe if she had done so before she could have prevented the demon from reaching earth. She’s been back for almost a year but spent most of that time in Limbo and is now trying to readjust to being back on earth and keeping her demon side in check.
