[1] The main plot takes place in mere seconds of canonical Marvel time, but covers seven years of Illyana's life in Limbo.

[2] Cat takes Illyana to a replica of the Savage Land in Limbo, where she trains her physically and teaches her to sword fight.

[3] Illyana spends three years learning magic from Belasco, while secretly reading every book in his library, plotting his downfall.

Hearing Belasco's voice outside her room, she panics, and her mutant power to create teleportational light discs manifests itself.

Enraged by her defiance, Belasco captures Illyana, extracts another bloodstone from her essence, and casts her out into a wintery wilderness as punishment.

When the oak finally crumbles to dust from her efforts, Illyana realizes that she was only trying to create life as a means to an end: destroying Belasco.

The enchantment that held her in Storm's garden is banished in the process and she takes a stepping disc to confront Belasco.

[5] After being out-of-print for a few decades, the series was collected as a hardcover graphic novel titled X-Men - Magik: Storm & Illyana and released in Dec. 2008.
