Planeswalkers are among the most powerful beings in the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. Planeswalkers can be born at random in any sentient race, with no outward signs of their latent power. However, there is an incredibly remote chance that any given sentient, natural being will be born with a planeswalker's spark. When that being is put through a period of extreme stress - in many cases death - the spark can trigger, causing the individual to ascend and become a planeswalker.

The defining trait of planeswalkers is the ability to travel between separate universes with ease, while the vast majority of people throughout the multiverse are not even aware that other worlds beside their own exist.
