questions about illyana rasputin's soulsword

i got some questions about the soulsword first how did illyana get it second what can it do besides cut things and can anybody get one

She got it from concentrating her magic into one, total weapon. It used to only work on magical beings, but, they updated it so it can effect anything now. It basically gives you control of Limbo and can dispell or disrupt magic. An no, the weapon is specific to Illyana and has only been wielded to people close to her and in a rare case was wielded by Amanda Sefton and her mother.

@cattlebattle: so that means Doctor Strange could not make one

Well, he could potentially make one of his own, but his magic isn't tied to Limbo so it wouldn't be the same thing.

@cattlebattle: ok so can dr strange just use a different source like the Vishanti instead of limbo
