She herself is a creature of magic, though.
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.
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.
