MAGIC: THE GATHERING


In the fictional Collectible Card Game , a planeswalker is a powerful Mage , able to travel across the planes of existence. According to the setting, the potential to become a planeswalker (called the "planeswalker spark"), is innate--some very few are born with such a spark, and anyone else who does not possess such a spark cannot possibly become a planeswalker. (Such a spark can, however, be transferred from one being to another, though the process is highly dangerous and potentially fatal.)

The "spark" is not the only requirement for becoming a planeswalker, however--many people who possess the spark never realize their planeswalker potential. A person who possesses the spark must also "ascend", which usually occurs during a time of great ) but are dangerous.

A planeswalker has complete control over his or her physical appearance, and does not have mortal needs, such as the need to eat, drink, sleep, or even breathe (though sleeping helps them retain sanity). Planeswalkers are very difficult to kill and can't die of natural causes. Planeswalkers rarely have relationships with non-planeswalkers due to their near-immortality. Some, however, (such as Urza, the most well-recognized of planeswalkers among Magic) do eat and sleep in order to feel more sane. Their need to do mortal things has become a mental one.

Players are considered planeswalkers in the context of the Magic-card game. Therefore, a planeswalker never gets its own card

Famous planeswalkers from the ''Magic'' mythos include:


THE NINE TITANS

In a last-ditch attempt to stymie the Phyrexian invasion of Dominaria, nine planeswalkers entered the plane of Phyrexia, in gigantic titan engines of Urza's design, to set off bombs to destroy the plane.
