The means of changing this was set in ''The Uncanny X-Men'' #160 (August 1982), in which she ages seven years while in a paranormal dimension called [[Otherplace|Limbo]], becomes a [[Magician (fantasy)|sorceress]], and develops the [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] ability to create "[[teleportation]] discs." These changes were not immediately explored or explained, and for the next year she remained essentially a background character.<ref name="Magikvariety" />

Illyana Rasputin (born Illyana Nikolaievna Rasputina) was born in the Ust-Ordynski [[Collective farm]], near [[Lake Baikal]], [[Siberia]], [[Russian SFSR]], [[Soviet Union]] to Nikolai Rasputin and his wife Alexandra Natalya Rasputina. The 2006 comic mini-series ''Colossus: Bloodline'' established that the family was descended from [[Grigori Rasputin]] and a [[Romani people|Romani]] woman named Elena.<ref>''X-Men: Colossus Bloodline'' #1 (November, 2005)</ref> Illyana's two older brothers, [[Mikhail Nikolaievitch Rasputin]] and [[Colossus (comicscharacter)|Colossus]] (Piotr "Peter" Nikolaievitch Rasputin) are also [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutants]]. Colossus' superhuman powers manifest while saving Illyana from a runaway tractor.<ref>''Giant-Size X-Men'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref>

[[Image:Magik4.jpg|thumb|left|A transformed Illyana becomes a powerful sorceress and ruler of Limbo in the first ''[[Magik (1983 comic book)|Magik]]'' limited series. in 1983]]

Shortly thereafter, Illyana is called to the [[Otherplace|Limbo]] dimension by [[Belasco (comicsMarvel Comics)|Belasco]], who seeks to bring forth the Elder Gods to rule Earth.<ref name="UX160">Claremont, Chris (w). ''The Uncanny X-Men'' #160. Marvel Comics.</ref> She is raised there, frequently bullied and tormented by Belasco's underling [[S'ym]].<ref>[[Simonson, Louise]] (w). ''The New Mutants'' #71. Marvel Comics.</ref> To free himself, Belasco needs to fill the Beatrix Medallion with five bloodstones. The bloodstones are created by corrupting Illyana's soul, with a new stone appearing as her corruption deepens. She is rescued and tutored in the practice of [[magic (paranormal)|white magic]] by that dimension's version of [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|Storm]] (who turned to magic when her mutant powers waned).<ref>''Magik'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> Finding the use of magic abhorrent, Limbo's version of [[Kitty Pryde|Shadowcat]], known as Cat, kidnaps and trains Illyana in hand to hand and sword combat. Cat, along with Illyana, storms Belasco's citadel. They are overwhelmed by Belasco, who further transforms Cat into a feline demonic creature.<ref name="Magik #2. Marvel Comics">''Magik'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> With Illyana back under his control, Belasco instructs her in the art of black magic in the hopes that it will further corrupt her soul. However, Illyana plots Belasco's defeat and continues to resist the dark influence on her soul.<ref>''Magik'' #3. Marvel Comics.</ref> Illyana forms a mystical bond between both Storm and Cat, who were also tutored by Belasco.<ref>''Magik'' limited series, and ''The Uncanny X-Men'' Annual #9 (1985). Marvel Comics.</ref>

Belasco succeeds in creating three parts of Illyana's bloodstone pendant. Illyana creates the Soulsword and takes over Limbo as its new ruler. While wielding the Soulsword she manifests horns, a tail and fangs. She banishes Belasco from Limbo and claims S'ym as her servant.<ref name="MIS4">''Magik'' #4. Marvel Comics.</ref> and claims S'ym as her servant. She then returns to Earth a decade older, although no time has passed on Earth since her kidnapping.<ref name="UX160"/> She subsequently joins the [[New Mutants]].<ref name="New Mutants #14"/>

Magik misguides one of her teleportation discs through the space-time continuum and strands herself and [[DaniDanielle Moonstar|Mirage]] in ancient Egypt.<ref>''The New Mutants'' #32. Marvel Comics.</ref> There, Illyana meets Storm's ancestor Ashake, an Egyptian priestess. Together, they defeat an evil sorcerer, Heka-Nut, who sought an ancient mystical sword called the Sword of Bone using Magik's Soulsword. Ashake helps Illyana and Mirage return to the present, with Mirage's memory of the incident erased in the process.<ref name="Arcanna">''Mystic Arcanna'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref>

A strange armor begins to appear on her body each time she wields the Soulsword. The armor appears only on one of her shoulders and arms at first,<ref>''The New Mutants'' #18-20. Marvel Comics.</ref> but appears on more of her body each time that she wields the sword.<ref>''The New Mutants'' #50, 66, 72</ref> Illyana's skill as a sorceress grows, and she battles other beings with mystical powers such as [[Baba Yaga]],<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #231</ref> the [[Enchantress (Marvel Comics)|Enchantress]],<ref name="New Mutants SE">''The New Mutants Special Edition'' #1.

Marvel Comics.</ref> [[Spiral (comicscharacter)|Spiral]],<ref>''The New Mutants'' #65</ref> and Heka-Nut.<ref name="Arcanna"/> A routine trip through Limbo goes awry, leaving the New Mutants stuck in Limbo. To open an escape route for her teammates, Illyana embraces her demonic nature and opens a colossal teleportation disc between Earth and Limbo, which [[N'astirh]] holds open, triggering [[Inferno (Marvel Comics)|an invasion of Earth by demons from Limbo]].<ref>''The New Mutants'' #70-71. Marvel Comics.</ref> Ashamed of herself, she flees into Limbo, and decides to end the demonic invasion by assuming rule of Limbo. However, her teammate [[Wolfsbane (comicscharacter)|Rahne Sinclair]] persuades her against this, and she instead gives up her demonic powers by creating a massive stepping disc that banishes the demons back to Limbo, then throws her Soulsword in after them to seal the portal shut. Afterwards, the New Mutants find a seven-year-old Illyana inside the husk of her eldritch armor. She still possesses the bloodstone locket.<ref name="NM73">''The New Mutants'' #73. Marvel Comics.</ref>

Because of theits mystic bond she shares with the Shadowcat from the Limbo dimension, the Soulsword passes on to Earth's Shadowcat in England. It embeds itself in a stone near [[Excalibur (comics)|Excalibur]]'s lighthouse headquarters, waiting for Shadowcat to claim it and become its new wielder.<ref>''Excalibur'' #11 (1989)</ref> After a conflict with the necromancer Gravemoss, the Soulsword is acquired by [[Amanda Sefton]],<ref>''Excalibur'' #83-85 (1994-1995)</ref> who wouldbecomes claimthe Illyana's mantle assecond Magik, ruler of Limbo and wielder of the Soulsword.<ref>''X-Men: Magik'' #1 (2000).

Illyana's spirit returns<ref name=autogenerated13>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #365. Marvel Comics.</ref> to Colossus, who had recently returned to the United States with Shadowcat and [[Nightcrawler (comicscharacter)|Nightcrawler]] following the disbanding of Excalibur.<ref name="autogenerated13">''The Uncanny X-Men'' #365. Marvel Comics.</ref> When investigating odd occurrences inside the Mansion, Colossus locates one of the stepping disks that Illyana had magically bound to the school. He is transported to a pocket world, which holds a memory imprint of Illyana.<ref name=autogenerated13/> Illyana's memory convinces him to make one final sacrifice. When the cure for the Legacy Virus turned out to need the death of one mutant, he secretly gave his life, so nobody else would have to die like Illyana did.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #390. Marvel Comics.</ref> Colossus is later resurrected by an alien race.<ref>''Astonishing X-Men'' #5 (2004). Marvel Comics.</ref>

Belasco eventually deposes Amanda Sefton and, after seeing Illyana reappear during the 2005 "[[House of M]]" and realizing he carries a torch for her, creates a powerful spell to return her to him. The spell pulls forth the remaining essence of Illyana still held within Limbo's dimension, taking shape as the Darkchilde, the semi-demonic version of Illyana corrupted and transformed by dark magic. Belasco is not satisfied with his creation, claiming that it is not the true Illyana Rasputin (due to her lack of Illyana's soul) and banishes her to the outer parts of Limbo.<ref name="New41">''New X-Men'' vol. 2 #41. Marvel Comics.</ref>

Illyana, now with her Darkchilde persona, discovers some of the teenage [[New X-Men (2004 series)|New X-Men]] being attacked by a horde of demons. After aiding the mutants against the demons, she uses a spell to immobilize them and steal a portion of [[Pixie (X-Men)|Pixie]]'s soul, in the hopes of creating both a bloodstone and a new Soulsword, as Illyana felt Pixie had the most innocent of souls present. [[Anole (comicscharacter)|Anole]] breaks free from Illyana's confinement and dispatches her. Pixie's soul extraction is partially successful however, creating one part of a bloodstone pendant and a soul dagger. Illyana attempts to complete the process and destroy those who wished to interfere, but [[Rockslide (comicscharacter)|Rockslide]] thwarts her, and causes Illyana's human memories of her friends and life among the X-Men to return to her.<ref>''New X-Men'' vol. 2 #40. Marvel Comics.</ref>

While in Limbo, Illyana attacks various demons in her search for the Bloodstone amulet. Her activities are noticed by [[Mephisto (comicsMarvel Comics)|Mephisto]], [[Blackheart]], [[Satannish]], [[Dormammu]], and [[Hela (Marvel Comicscharacter)|Hela]]. Belasco's daughter, [[Witchfire (Marvel Comics)|Witchfire]] appears during the meeting and reveals she is the current owner of Illyana's Bloodstone amulet and vows to take her father's place as ruler of Limbo. Back at the X-Men's base in San Francisco, Pixie accidentally discovers Magik's Soulsword is hidden inside Nightcrawler. Sensing its presence, Illyana teleports in and reclaims her sword, transforming from the Darkchilde into her Magik persona.<ref>''[[X-Infernus]]'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> She strikes Colossus when he enters the Danger Room and calls out to her, realizing that something is wrong when she does not feel any emotions, and returns to Limbo. Witchfire has conquered Limbo and Magik's armies during her absence.<ref name="Infernus2">''X-Infernus'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> Claiming everything that Belasco ever owned, Witchfire captures Magik, takes her bloodstone and adds it to the amulet.

When [[Hope Summers (comics)|Hope Summers]] and [[Cable (comicscharacter)|Cable]] return to the present during the 2010 "[[X-Men: Second Coming]]" storyline, [[Bastion (comics)|Bastion]] begins eliminating all mutant teleporters to trap the mutant population on Utopia. While trying to bring Hope and Cable to Utopia, Illyana is fired upon by one of the Purifiers with a supernatural weapon that opens a portal to Limbo that she cannot control; she is drawn into the portal by a cluster of demonic tentacles.<ref>''New Mutants'' vol. 3 #12. Marvel Comics.</ref> She is eventually freed from her restraints by [[Pixie (X-Men)|Pixie]], and Illyana and her rescue team return to Earth.<ref>''X-Men Second Coming - Revelations: Hellbound'' #3. Marvel Comics.</ref>

In a reversal of fortune, Pixie is kidnapped by [[Inferno (Marvel Comics)#Project Purgatory/ Inferno Babies Members|Project Purgatory]], and Magik returns to Limbo with the New Mutants to rescue her.<ref>''New Mutants'' vol. 3 #17. Marvel Comics.</ref> While in Limbo, the New Mutants encounter the [[Inferno (Marvel Comics)#Project Purgatory/ Inferno Babies Members|''Inferno Babies'']] - mutants who were taken as infants by the government and raised and trained in Limbo.<ref>''New Mutants'' vol. 3 #18. Marvel Comics.</ref> This now-adult team attacks and overwhelms the New Mutants. While the rest of the team is captured, Magik escapes to Earth with [[Karma (comicscharacter)|Karma]] and Pixie. After hiding the Soulsword inside Karma, Magik teleports the rest of the X-Men to Portal Epsilon, Project Purgatory's gateway to Limbo, for what the X-Men believe to be a rescue mission. They arrive just as Limbo's Elder Gods breach the gateway to Earth.<ref>''New Mutants'' vol. 3 #20.

Marvel Comics.</ref> Confronted by Cyclops afterward, Magik admits to putting the world in danger and manipulating the X-Men for the sake of a personal vendetta against the Elder Gods. Cyclops decides that she must be restrained. While she remains unrepentant, she accepts his decision.<ref>''New Mutants'' vol. 3 #25. Marvel Comics.</ref>

Magik is placed in the X-Brig 2, a newly constructed, ultra-high security prison 500&nbsp;ft. below sea level. She is controlled by devices that detect and prevent the use of teleportation and magic. During a visit Magik accepts the blame for her incarceration when Colossus tries to comfort her. Magik is temporarily released by Colossus and Kitty to get her help in defeating [[Juggernaut (comicscharacter)|Juggernaut]].<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #540. Marvel Comics.</ref>

Matt Lune of ''[[CBR.comComic Book Resources]]'' asserted, "Sometimes there are issues of ''What If'' that are so outrageous, they'd never be possible in the regular canon. Other stories, however, take already established plotlines and give them a little tweak, then show us the Butterfly Effect that this small change causes. ''What If Magik'' #1 definitely falls into the latter category, giving us a look at the life of Illyana Rasputin had she walked away from the New Mutants at a pivotal moment. [...] There's so much to enjoy in this issue that it's a shame that it's out of continuity. Williams does an excellent job of using the somewhat reluctant pairing to enrich and deepen both central characters in a way that seems almost wasted in this one-off issue. If it weren't for the fact that this early time in Magik's life was already fully explored by Claremont, this would make a perfect retcon flashback that could set up a future relationship between Illyana and Strange. As it stands, this is an effective examination of the two characters in a way that manages to find new things to say about both of them."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lune |first=Matt |date=2018-11-06 |title=REVIEW: Illyana Fulfills Her Destiny in What If Magik #1 |url=https://www.cbr.com/what-if-magik-1-review/ |access-date=2022-09-12 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}</ref> Jamie Lovett of ''[[ComicBook.com]]'' gave ''What If? Magik'' #1 a grade of 5 out of 5, saying, "''What If? Magik'' packs a novel's worth of story into a single comic book. Leah Williams and Felipe Andrade use Magik's history to tell a story of trauma, abusive relationships, and the road to recovery and reclamation and it is exquisitely told. Williams knows exactly when to zoom into a moment with personal dialogue and when to zoom out to let the narration carry the reader. Andrade does a great job of building his layouts around the dialogue and narration. Both Williams writing and Andrade's artwork present strong characterizations of Magik and Doctor Strange. There are two small quibbles, however. Andrade's expressive faces sometimes verge on the cartoonish, which is at odds with the tone of the story. The issue also begs for one last splash page to really drive home just how far Illyanna has come by the end. Regardless, this is an expertly crafted single-issue tale."<ref>{{Cite web |firstlast=RollinBishop |lastfirst=BishopRollin |date=31 October 31, 2018 |title=Comic Book Reviews for This Week: 10/31/2018 |url=https://comicbook.com/comics/news/marvel-dc-image-comic-reviews-245359/ |access-date=12 September 12, 2022 |website=Comics[[ComicBook.com]] |language=en}}</ref> Alan Kistler of ''[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]'' included ''What If Magik'' #1 in their "The greatest What If...? stories in Marvel history" list.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kistler |first=Alan |date=24 September 24, 2019 |title=The greatest What If...? stories in Marvel history |url=https://www.polygon.com/2019/9/24/20880521/best-marvel-what-if-comics-spider-man-wolverine-captain-america-hulk-mcu |access-date=3 December 3, 2022 |website=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] |language=en-US}}</ref>
