Planeswalker Spark

A Simple Spark
''The nature of Planeswalker Sparks is rather abstract and up for a certain level of debate. What is known is that until the last century or so, all Sparks granted the Walkers immortality, shape-shifting, and god tier powers. Some Planeswalkers, such as Nicol Bolas, had achieved a level of power that allowed them to will themselves back into existence, regardless of the methods used to destroy them. One of the side effects of such power was that time rifts were torn in the fabric of the Multiverse on the plane of Dominaria. ''

''Eventually the damage reached the point where the plane would not be able to recover naturally. If events played out differently, Dominaria would have been destroyed, which would have triggered a chain reaction destroying the Multiverse. Though through the actions of a united group of Planeswalkers, the rifts were sealed at a high price. That price was that four Planeswalkers lost their lives in a permanent fashion as well as costing two more their powers. The lasting effects of sealing the eight major rifts altered the cycle of life on several other planes, but eventually led to the removal of much what gave Planeswalkers a claim to godhood. ''

''Modern Planeswalkers only gain the ability to Planeswalk and draw upon mana from other planes once their Spark ignites. Any other abilities that the Planeswalker in question has would come from other sources such as race and training.''
