	Magi are always born from at least one parent who is a [[Psyker]], and this, combined with its xenos DNA, makes the creature a highly potent psychic being. They can use their psychic abilities to coerce or enslave others to their cause. Should a Patriarch or Magus dominate a region completely, the psychic shadow that gathers around them will grow darker and thicker until it begins to coalesce. This ever-shrinking miasma hardens into a many-limbed form known as a [[Genestealer Familiars\|Genestealer Familiar]] that will faithfully serve its Magus.

	The Magus is second in importance to the Patriarch; under these two individuals there is little hierarchy or leadership. Therefore, both the Magus and the Patriarch are the primary targets of Imperial Assassins. Killing both of these individuals leaves the Genestealer Cult leaderless and in disarray, allowing a military force to follow up and purge the mass of fanatics.
