ferrumdaemonium replied: I mean idk it seems very obvious he can use magic in game at least to me. Ga.ren also seems to have magic, as we see Sy.las use it against him multiple times.

he can use magic in game, as he is a s1 champion and USED to be magic in lore, it saved him from being murdered by sw.ain and all that. he however is not magic in current lore as we note when syl.as grabbed him he didn’t absorb or take any magic. ( also i assume it would be mentioned at least once in his lore if he was ) riot just hasn’t taken the time to actually like update him and give him abilities which make sense... so we have an unexplained magic shield

( as for gar.en - while not the topic of this discussion - its not really explained, it seems syl.as can only take magic from him if he is using his sword so who knows what that implies )
