Psi-Screen: Monstrous protection vs psionic attacks, mind-control and other telepathic abilities.
Soulsword: Illyana can automatically summon a soulsword, a physical manifestation of her magical powers. The Soulsword can be used only by a character it is bonded to. It can be bonded to a character if Illyana wishes it so. If someone wants to master the sword without her permission on opposed Psyche FEAT must be made. Both must make a Psyche FEAT against the other characters Psyche, and if both succeed the highest roll wins. (no karma, the rule of impossible FEAT's is in effect). There are some effects that may alter a characters psyche rank for this roll:

The sword may be stored into nothingness by the wielder and summoned when needed. The sword inflicts Monstrous edged damage on any magical creature. It is also one of the few things that can hit Kitty Pryde when out of phase for Excellent edged damage. It doesn't inflict damage on non-magical characters but unless they are aware of this they must make a Intuition FEAT vs. Incredible intensity or be stunned for 1-10 rounds, believing to have suffered a mortal wound. On most intelligent people this will work only for the first attack. If the sword strikes a magically controlled, possessed or transformed item or character this magic will be dispelled with Unearthly ability.
Body Armor: If Magik uses her soulsword or magic in combat, a shining magical body armor appears on her providing Excellent protection increasing +1CS each time she uses her magic or soulsword to a maximum of Monstrous

History
Illyana was the younger sister of the X-Man Colossus. Her powers first manifested when she was kidnapped by Arcade. She escaped by opening a portal that took her to Limbo where she encountered Belasco. The X-Men followed Illyana, and attempted to escape with her. The portal had almost closed by the time they had left, and Illyana emerged from the portal as a 14-year old girl (due to time accelerating at a different rate in Limbo). During the years she had spent in Limbo, Illyana was taught in the arts of black magic. Illyana joined the New Mutants and took the codename Magik.
What she didn't know was that each time she used her magic it was bringing her dark side to the surface. This dark side eventually manifested as the Darkchylde during Inferno, but just as everyone thought she had died she returned as the young girl she was before entering Limbo. Returned to Russia, she was again brought back to the US after her parents were murdered, where it was revealed she had contracted the Legacy Virus of which she was the first recorded mutant victim. It has since been revealed that her brother Mikhail, when he travelled back in time to attempt to stop Illyana's death, was the one that actually infected Illyana with the Legacy Virus.
