Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Teyo Verada wants nothing more than to be a shieldmage, wielding arcane energies to protect his people from his world’s vicious diamondstorms. When he’s buried alive in the aftermath of his first real tempest, the young mage’s life is about to end before it can truly begin—until it doesn’t. In a flash, a power he didn’t know he had whisks him away from his home, to a world of stone, glass, and wonder: Ravnica. Teyo is a Planeswalker, one of many to be called to the world-spanning city—all lured by Nicol Bolas, the Elder Dragon. Bolas lays siege to the city of Ravnica, hungry for the ultimate prize: godhood itself. His unparalleled magic and unstoppable army appear poised to bring the city to utter ruin.Among those who stand in the way of Bolas’s terrifying machinations are the Gatewatch, Planeswalkers sworn to defeat evil, no matter where it’s found. But as they work to unite the other mages and mount a defense of the city and its people, the terrifying truth of Bolas’s plan becomes clear. The Elder Dragon has prepared a trap to ensnare the most powerful mages from across the Multiverse—and it’s too late to escape.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As forces great and small converge on the city and the battle rages, the stakes could not be higher. If the Gatewatch falters and the Planeswalkers fail, the curtain will fall on the age of heroes — and rise on the infinite reign of Nicol Bolas.War Of The Spark: Ravnica is a Magic: The Gathering novel by Greg Weisman, which serves as a conclusion to the line's long-running "Bolas Arc." Weisman would also write War Of The Spark Forsaken which explored the aftermath of the events of this novel without being tied to any one expansion of the card game. | |

| War of the Spark: Ravnica / int_1a6d9f92 | comment |
By the Eyes of the Blind: Araithia "Rat" Shokta, was born with an ability that makes her invisible, or at least unnoticeable, to all but a few people, including her mother, Hekara, Teyo, Kaya, and her godfather Boruvo. Other people can see her if they know to look for her, but have to actively concentrate to do so, including her father. | |

Extremely Short Timespan: The story begins at dawn, and ends at sunset the very same day. Teyo even lampshades the fact that it feels like a million years. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| War of the Spark: Ravnica / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Dovin predicted that the Gatewatch would send the three members of their group with personal grudges against him (Chandra, Saheeli, and Lavinia) and planned his defenses accordingly. How do they beat him? The "Chandra" Dovin fights is actually Lazav. The real Chandra took out the Immortal Sun while he was distracted. | |

When Trees Attack: Nissa brings Vitu-Ghazi, the giant tree that serves as the guildhall for the Selesnya Conclave, to life as a gargantuan elemental. It goes on a rampage through Bolas' forces until the God-Eternals destroy it. | |

Action Survivor | |
| War of the Spark: Ravnica / int_53407671 | comment |
Action Survivor: Teyo Verada has the misfortune of igniting his Spark, and landing on Ravnica, just before the battle starts. He doesn't even initially know what a Planeswalker is, and his magic is almost purely defense-based, but he manages to survive the War when far more experienced 'walkers did not. | |

| War of the Spark: Ravnica / int_5717e34 | comment |
Once the Planar Bridge is destroyed, Tezzeret, whom Bolas had assigned to guard it, immediately takes off, and (genuinely) wishes the heroes best of luck in killing Bolas; he'd never had any loyalty to the dragon, and Bolas becoming a god would only get in the way of his own plans. | |

Brought Down to Normal | |
| War of the Spark: Ravnica / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Bolas' fate is to have his own Spark harvested by the Elderspell, robbing him not only of godhood, but of the ability to Planeswalk period. This would usually leave him a powerful dragon mage, but Ugin removed his name, and thus power and identity, as well. | |

A Death in the Limelight | |
| War of the Spark: Ravnica / int_6a2c358d | comment |
A Death in the Limelight: Despite popularity with the fans, Dack Fayden had only starred in his own comic, and never interacted with the Gatewatch, or appeared in the Bolas Arc before this novel. He nonetheless features prominently as a frequent POV character, is integral to shutting down the Planar Bridge, and gets a hefty dose of Character Development... before being brutally killed by an Eternal. | |

Final Battle | |
| War of the Spark: Ravnica / int_830b0ac9 | comment |
Final Battle: After at least three years of build-up starting all the way back in Oath of the Gatewatch (2016), and arguably further back then that, this details the culmination of Bolas' decades long plan, and the alliance of dozens of Planeswalkers, and all of Ravnica, trying to stop him. | |

Royal "We": Bolas, after harvesting a few dozen Sparks, begins referring to himself like this and speaking in ALL CAPS for good measure. He stops after his own Spark is harvested. | |

Came Back Wrong: A fairly minor example for the trope, but whatever it is that allows certain people to see Rat, Hekara, Rat's best friend, loses it upon being resurrected as a blood-witch. | |

Late to the Tragedy: The Gatewatch arrive on Ravnica thinking they only have a short time to warn the Guilds about Bolas... only to discover he'd been there for weeks, with the Guilds having already tried and failed to stop him, and Niv-Mizzet has already been killed in battle against him. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: After the Gatewatch disable the Immortal Sun a large number of the Planeswalker's fighting alongside them immediately depart. Not all, though. Once the Planar Bridge is destroyed, Tezzeret, whom Bolas had assigned to guard it, immediately takes off, and (genuinely) wishes the heroes best of luck in killing Bolas; he'd never had any loyalty to the dragon, and Bolas becoming a god would only get in the way of his own plans. Subverted with Dack, who spends the whole book planning to do this, but can't bring himself to when he has the chance. He really should've. | |

Broken Masquerade: As a result of the War, the existence of other worlds, Planeswalkers, and the status of several high-ranking members of Ravnican society as Planeswalkers, including Jace, Ral, Vraska, and Kaya, is now public knowledge. Ravnica thus becomes the only plane in the multiverse we know of where this is so. | |
