ABILITIES ✦ Stepping Discs - This is her mutant ability. She can create "discs" which act as interdimensional portals, with which she can teleport herself and others across distances, time, or the multiverse. The caveat is that she always needs to use Limbo as a midpoint. This will be disabled in-game until she regains access to Limbo per the FAQ. ✦ Limbo - Illyana has an innate connection to Limbo. Despite handing over its rule to Madelyne Pryor, she can still sense when something is wrong there, and is uniquely powerful when in Limbo. It seems as though no matter who is officially "in charge", in some ways Limbo and its inhabitants will always defer to Illyana. ✦ Sorcery - Illyana is an incredibly powerful sorceress, mentored by Belasco, Doctor Strange, and an alternate version of Ororo Monroe. She is considered the Sorceress Supreme of Limbo, and was a candidate for Sorceress Supreme of Earth. Illyana has been shown to use a wide variety of spells, such as energy/elemental manipulation, astral projection, binding, summoning (of both her soulsword and other demonic/magical constructs), scrying, shielding, etc. She can also manipulate and construct simple objects, such as clothing, and perform exorcisms/break spells. If one of her spells is forcibly broken or dispelled, it causes her physical pain - the more powerful the spell, the more painful the result. ✦ Soulsword - This is a mystical weapon formed from Illyana's soul, and as such, is directly connected to her. While it can be taken from her, it is still considered a part of her. She can alter its properties and appearance depending on her desires. While usable as a normal physical weapon, it is particularly powerful against demons, magical beings, and supernatural creatures. The soulsword can dispel magical effects, exorcise demons and spirits, and damage intangible foes (such as Kitty Pryde while phasing). She can summon it and dismiss it at will, and it also allows her to generate a mystical armor. The sword also augments the user's magical abilities. ✦ Darkchild - Kind of complicated. Essentially, this is a dark half that "lives" within Illyana. While she has much better control over her shadow self since accepting it, it's still a manifestation of her pain, trauma, and darkest impulses. When she taps into its power, her magic flows more easily and she takes on a more demonic appearance. ✦ Other stuff - Illyana is skilled in combat, both hand to hand and in all sorts of weapons. She speaks multiple languages (Russian, English, Japanese, and the demonic language of Limbo).
