Kasmina is a Planeswalker introduced in War of the Spark. She uses transformation and control spells.

Appearance and characteristics

Kasmina has long honey-blonde hair, a blue-white hooded cloak, and a long crook-staff. She can use her transformation magic to polymorph organic beings. This ability can be used offensively, e.g. transforming an enemy into a helpless creature like a frog. She can also take direct mental control of other people's actions, effectively possessing them.

She is centered in blue mana.

History

Leader of a shadowy cabal

Kasmina is the leader of an ancient, secret order of Planeswalkers, a shadowy cabal with mysterious aims. Her larger goals are unknown, but her recent obsession is recruitment. Her preferred method is to identify what she calls "embers", non-ignited Planeswalkers. She helps these mages to discover their potential, even if it means causing trauma to ignite their spark, and then indoctrinates them in the ways of her order. She is preparing for a looming conflict that dwarfs the War of the Spark.

War of the Spark

Kasmina's Transmutation.

Kasmina was lured to Ravnica by the Interplanar Beacon, and immediately became trapped there due to Bolas's use of the Immortal Sun. Alongside many other Planeswalkers and Ravnicans, she fought against the Eternals of Bolas' Dreadhorde. The skillful use of control magic allowed Kasmina to temporarily pull an Eternal to her side during the fight.

Strixhaven

Kasmina goes to Kylem and invites Rowan and Will Kenrith to study at Strixhaven. When the Twins arrive at Arcavios, Kasmina guides them to the campus. Will asks Kasmina if she is a native of Arcavios, Kasmina replies that she studied for many years on the plane, but is not native to the plane. Kasmina uses one of her owls to watch the Twins and discover their potential, while another of her owls watches over Lukka's actions elsewhere in Arcavios.

Trivia

• Despite having a card in War of the Spark, she does not actually appear in the novel. However, her cards show her using magic against the Eternals on Ravnica, confirming that she was involved in the conflict.
  • She was later given a brief cameo in one of the War of the Spark side stories on DailyMTG.com, where she was seen taking control of an Eternal and using it to fight against the rest of the Dreadhorde.
• Kasmina was included in War of the Spark because she was going to appear in an upcoming set, and Wizards wanted to preview her. This set turned out to be Strixhaven: School of Mages, though originally it was to be Throne of Eldraine.
