This is the wrap-up of the Magician storyline. But in typical X-men fashion, we also have another storyline that started up last issue about Jean. Tied in to that we also have Miss Lilandra Numara, a member of the Shi'ar church of enlightenment. She's been around for the last couple of issues studying Jean, and now she's trying to seduce the professor. Then there's also the storyline with Nightcrawler and Colossus. There appears to be some tension between them, mostly on Kurt's part, but we don't know what that's all about yet. Oh, and did I mention yet that Sabretooth seems to be hanging about around campus for some reason? Back to the Magician, there's a huge fight, when it starts to dawn on everyone that he's been playing them. But his power is so all-encompassing and seems to change at a whim, is hard for everyone to get their bearing. And by everyone, I do mean everyone. It's the magician against the whole X-men team. The tide seems to turn in their favor when Jean shows up in her Phoenix persona, and in a moment of clarity, come to the conclusion that the only way to win this fight is for Wolverine to take him down like the rabid dog that he is. In doing so, everything just dissapears. Absolutely everything. All the damage to the building, and to all the team, just gone. All traces of the Magician, gone. And it seems as time moves on from the incident, even the memories of him will fade away like a dream. But, he's still here. He's makes contact with Kitty, kind of. He comes up to her and talks to her, to explain himself, but he does it in a way that she can't actually sense him. But I guess it's a burden off his chest. So, we'll just have to wait and see how and when he'll show up in future storylines. For now. . . . he's gone.
