At 15, shortly after his mother died, he learned from his father that Christabel was his half-sister. A year afterwards, Magion went looking for Christabel who had gone missing six months prior, thinking that she had gone looking for her true father.

After she notices his pin, she tells him to talk to Asterisk about it and that they'll meet up again in ten days time, leaving abruptly. Benji then talks to Magion, who claims that the meeting went well despite shaking.

Magion then goes alongside Benji's group to assault Torcia Tower and ascends the tower, where he eventually is confronted by Rabiah. After Gibbet stops Rabiah from killing him, he says that he came to the tower to talk to Gibbet. He then tells Gibbet about his past, and how he came to Lion City to search for his sister. He gives Gibbet the bracelet from his childhood, which causes Gibbet to panic and murder him with a witch's spider.

The two were used to pull a carriage transporting Rabiah, Gibbet, Rack, and Maiden to the capital in order to take back Beritoad. Rabiah hid the two of them for most of the battle, before later calling them back.

She escaped by transforming into an owl, and wandered the country for a long time, wanting to retake her country. After a weakened Beritoad fled to Torcia Tower, she went to steal his power of alchemy. She encountered Raymond before entering the tower and the two fought, though she was eventually blinded by one of his lightning strikes and stabbed with his estoc. Stolasphia then used the last of her powers to split herself into three owls, one of which sealed Torcia Tower's entrance, the second imprisoned Raymond inside a gem, and the third carrying Stolasphia's consciousness went to find a Hereditary Evil Raiser to reside in before disappearing. As Hank had died, she flew south to search for a HER. She found Christabel Blanken in a field and possessed her. However, due to Stolasphia's weakened state, she became partially subsumed and the two became a new consciousness.
