Third Spell: Bare the Claws!
After Magik fills new X-Men member Thunderbird III in on the N’Garai, Belasco and the hatred they hold for the X-Men, she teleports away, trying to save the N’garai’s next victims. Wolverine and Iceman are undercover in Genosha, when they find themselves attacked by the N’garai possessed Banshee and Sunfire. Banshee’s wail quickly takes out Wolverine and most Genoshans including Magneto and Polaris. As „Banshee" closes in on the two, he is stopped by the Ru’tai Pilgrimm. Their battle in turn is interrupted by the recovered Polaris who then heads outside to help Iceman against „Sunfire." However the two of them cannot stand against the united power of the two N’garai possessed X-Men and both of them lose their souls to them. Both Wolverine and Magik arrive too late to save them. Magik proceeds to absorb the unconscious forms into her Soulsword to save them as she did with the other soulless X-Men and Wolverine is close to attacking her, accusing her of not being Illyana. She asks him to trust her and strangely enough he does and teleports away with her.
