Why did so many planeswalkers lose their spark?
Many planeswalkers lost their spark due to the Great Pruning, a catastrophic event caused by the Multiverse’s attempt to heal itself from the Phyrexian invasion, the artificial portals created by Realmbreaker, and the explosion of the Sylex in the Blind Eternities. This event had a profound impact on the Multiverse, resulting in the loss of spark for many planeswalkers, including notable characters such as Nissa, Teferi, and Huatli.
