			Originally, Planeswalkers were effectively gods; they could transport beings from across the [[multiverse]] as they saw fit, create portals and full-fledged [[plane]]s, they could take any form they liked, could speak any language, and they were virtually immortal. They didn't age in the slightest, and unless you managed to strike what they "believed" was their most valuable organ, any damage you did to them could be almost instantly undone; planeswalkers of the original stripe (called "Oldwalkers" by fans) were a central consciousness and their physical forms were energy projections shaped by their own will. This tended to have bad effects on their sanity, and most came to regard non-Planeswalkers as inherently insignificant.

			But... then came "The Mending". Long story short, the [[multiverse]] was threatening to collapse as [[Dominaria]] began to full apart due to temporal rifts, which were spreading out into other worlds. Finally, a planeswaker named [[Jeska]] sacrificed her life to close the central rift, healing all of the temporal rifts throughout the multiverse, but somehow fundamentally altering the planeswalker's Spark in the process. "Nuwalkers", as they are nicknamed, are still powerful mages, but that stems from the opportunities that planeswalking grants to find new locales to draw mana from and new spells to learn; there are far fewer inherent bonuses that come from the Spark itself. They age at a normal rate, and they are as squishy as any normal mortal. They can no longer make planes, and transporting non-planeswalkers became completely impossible. This caused great chaos amongst the Oldwalkers who were alive after the Mending was complete, as they found their powers drastically altered. In particular, [[Nicol Bolas]] went on the rampage, trying to come up with plots to restore his own Spark to its former potency, whilst [[Liliana Vess]] was driven into bargaining with demons in a desperate attempt to regain her former eternal youth.

	In games of [[Magic: The Gathering]], the players themselves are planeswalkers. Players' decks ("Libraries") represent all of the spells they know, all the creatures they can summon, and all of the places whose natural energy (or [[mana]]) they can tap. Many cards involving shuffling or searching or otherwise manipulating hands and decks are flavored as being some kind of mental manipulation -- trying to recall how to summon a particular desired creature, or trying to scramble or erase the opponent's knowledge of a particular spell.

			==In Plane Shift==
			When WoTC began releasing their Plane Shift articles, which attempt open up the worlds of MtG for play in [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], it naturally came time for them to discuss how to convert being a planeswalker to D&D mechanics. In Plane Shift: [[Amonkhet]], they did just that, and recommended that it basically become a background element, mechanically no different from the overland travel; after all, in a planewalking campaign, travel between worlds is a story function, not a rules function, or at least that's their argument. The only mechanical suggestions were that it takes a minute-long period of meditation/focusing for the planeswalker, akin to performing a ritual, and that this usually can't be done in combat. To represent the "reflexive planeshift" aspect of Planeswalkers, they can make a Charisma saving throw when hit by an attack that would drop them to 0 hit points, with a DC equal to the damage inflicted; if they pass this save, they teleport away to a random plane instead of taking damage.
