Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''''Mystic''''' is a [[comic book]] from the Florida-based [[CrossGen|CrossGen Comics]]. It was created by writer [[Ron Marz]] and artists [[Brandon Peterson]] and John Dell and was one of five flagship titles in the company's [[Sigilverse]] shared universe. ''Mystic'' ran for 43 issues (July 2000 – January 2004).

==Plot summary==
===Overview===
[[Magic (fiction)|Magic]] on the planet [[Ciress]] is an apprenticed profession organized by guilds specializing in one field of practice. The story centered on sisters [[Genevieve Villard|Genevieve]] and [[Giselle Villard|Giselle]], nicknamed "Gis". The former had devoted her life to sorcery within the Nouveau Guild; the latter is a spoiled [[socialite]] who, against her wishes. is granted great power and responsibility as a [[Sigil-Bearers|Sigil-Bearer]]. Gis, formerly indifferent to sorcery, can now master not one, but all of the extant schools of magic.

===Story===
The first six issues of Mystic describe Giselle's gaining of the Sigil and the efforts of the guild leaders to regain her power. Giselle gains her Sigil in the first issue and without intending to, steals the spirits of the ancient (and long dead) guild leaders. She also gets a guide in the form of a talking cat-like creature with yellow eyes and a love interest named Thierry Chevailier (an artist but without any magical ability). Starting in issue #4, Giselle gains the attention of one of [[The First (comics)|The First]] who goes by the name [[Darrow (comics)|Darrow]]. At first Darrow seems to help Giselle but he is under orders from [[The First (comics)|Ingra]] to sway Giselle to the side of House Sinister.

The efforts of the other guild leaders to strip Giselle of the spirits of the long dead guild leaders fail (issue #6) but the leaders of all but two of the magic guilds regard the situation as unacceptable. To destroy Giselle the guild leaders (with the exception of Astral and Nouveau) break the prison which confined '''Animora'''. This sets in motion a conflict which lasts for the next 12 issues between Giselle (and her sister Genevieve, the leader of the Nouveau guild) against Animora and the other guild leaders. Darrow rapidly switches sides and supports Animora also. With the reluctant aid of the spirits of the former guild leaders, Giselle is able to defeat all her enemies (issue #14 and again in issue #20) but at a cost.

After her second defeat, Animora was able to establish a psychic link to Giselle and over time this turned into a form of possession. As this control was growing, Giselle alienated her good friend Thierry Chevailier and he fell in love with the older sister Genevieve (issue #24). Eventually Giselle meets Ingra and after a battle - in which Ingra easily defeats Giselle - Ingra breaks Animora's hold over Giselle and imprisons Animora (issue #23). Part of the reason why Ingra is able to defeat Giselle is that due to Giselle's recent behavior, the spirits of the guild leaders refuse to help her. Giselle, without their aid, finds that her knowledge of magic is very poor. She resolves to become a master of magic and starts with learning the magic of the Nouveau guild from her sister Genevieve, before moving on to the Shaman guild, the Djinn guild and the Astral guild (issues #25–28).

In ''[[CrossGen Chronicles]]'' #5 it was revealed that an eighth guild named Taroc had existed but vanished centuries ago. The Taroc guild leader sacrificed herself to imprison Animora, one of [[The First (comics)|The First]], who had been banished by Ingra, the leader of House Sinister.

It was later revealed that a secret guild exists (issue #33) called the Geometer guild; the members of which are allied with the Dark Magi guild and the Tantric guild. The Geometers believe themselves to be manipulators of all the other guilds; the guildmaster is named Archemus.

== Characters ==
* '''Giselle ("Gis") Villard''' is one of the many Sigil-Bearers. She was the younger sister who spent her time going to parties and socializing while her older sister Genieveve studied hard and moved up rapidly in the ranks of the Nouveau Mages Guild. The series begins on the day of Genevieve's ascension to the rank of Guild master for the Nouveau guild where she is to receive the spirit of the Nouveau guild. On that day, Giselle is given the Sigil on her hand and consequently absorbs the spirit of the Nouveau guild as well as the six other spirits of the guilds.
* '''Genevieve Villard''' is the older sister, and the [[Sigil-Bearers|Sigil-Bearer]] of Ciress. Genevieve studied hard and moved up rapidly in the ranks of the Nouveau Mages' Guild. When the old guild leader died, Genevieve was chosen to be the new guild master. The Mystic series begins on the day of Genevieve's ascension to the rank of Guild master. On that day, Genevieve's younger sister [[Giselle Villard|Giselle]] is given a sigil on her hand and she then absorbs all the spirits of the long-dead guild masters of the seven magic guilds, including the spirit Genevieve was supposed to obtain.
* '''Animora''' is the main antagonist of ''Mystic'', and she is a banished member of The First. Her goal is to kill Ingra any way possible. Animora was one of House Sinister, but she tried to take over the House Sinister Seat from Ingra, and Ingra banished her and reduced her powers. When Animora came to Ciress, she tried to conquer it, but the eight main Guild masters retaliated and trapped her in an abyss.
