By drawing on her life-force, Illyana also manifested the Soulsword, a mystical weapon that can cut through some types of magic. Although she eventually lost them both, Magik evolved into a formidable magician thanks to her studies, then later discovered her mutant power to create teleportation discs. In Limbo, Illyana found allies in alternate versions of Storm and Kitty Pryde, who taught her mystical skills in addition to combat.
After Belasco corrupted part of her soul and used it to create a Bloodstone, Magik was forced to survive constant mental and physical torture in Limbo, where she held off demons like S’ym and warped versions of the X-Men. Illyana’s time in Limbo was chronicled in a MAGIK (1983) miniseries by Chris Claremont, John Buscema, and Tom Palmer. Although she was only six years old when she entered Limbo, Illyana was 13 years old when she emerged from the dimension a few moments later. But in a tragedy that would define her life, Illyana was captured by the demonic Belasco, the lord of the hellish Limbo dimension, as part of his plan to unleash the Elder Gods in UNCANNY X-MEN (1981) #160 by Chris Claremont, Brent Anderson, and Bob Wiacek. After being kidnapped by the villain Arcade, Illyana soon joined her brother stateside in the X-Men’s care. In Illyana’s first appearance, Colossus saved his beloved little sister from a runaway tractor shortly before leaving the family farm to join the X-Men. Like her brother Piotr, Illyana debuted GIANT-SIZE X-MEN (1975) #1 by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum.
