Plus those stepping portals which counter Raven's other trump card.
Raven has her empathic powers, which could work, I guess....but not before Magik portals behind her with her sword. That would really eff her soul self up.
Raven can teleport, too, so it can go either way with that tactic. She's a premier empath and telepath, as she can take on Trigon with her Soul Self. She's also shut down minds, and can feel all the emotions in the universe.

illyana would run raven through. her mind is already hugely resistant to tp and if she wasn't careful, raven could actually just drive illyana further into her evil side. not sure how much she has made use of the limbo power inside her, but her spell casting has improved a lot recently and she could hold her own even without the sword. with the sword she's too much.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
