Changes
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

He became a ward of the scholars and quickly gained their powers, surpassing them in many ways. Magnus mastered every psychic training programme and soon surpassed the greatest adepts of the commune. By the time he was this much in control of his psychic powers, he was by far the largest person on the planet. One day, Magnus performed something to change the world forever. Instead of channeling warp energy from the [[warp]] to the [[materium]], he looked into the warp with his cyclopean eye, going from the student to absolute master instantly.
With such a mind in the warp, it was not long until the Emperor noticed him. When his fleet arrived, it as was if the two had known each other for years, although not in the flesh just in the mind.
The Thousand Sons Magnus inherited were rife with psychic mutations, being based on Magnus' genes. He took them in as his own and began training them in the ways of the psyker. The Inquisition was fearful of the rampant mutations and often voiced this, but Magnus silenced them. The further from Terra the crusade went, the more strange warp powered creatures they came across. This naturally made Magnus look bad, his control of the warp being similar to these creatures. [[Leman Russ (primarch)]] and [[Mortarion]] both distrusted Magnus due to his use of the warp and because of his use of deceit where they would have used overwhelming numbers.
