[[File:Prospero (John Blanche).jpg|thumb|right|300px|The Silver Spires of Prospero{{Fn|11}}]]
Prospero was a desolate, dark planet and was chosen by its inhabitants because of its distance from [[Terra]]. [[Mutant]]s and [[Psyker]]s lived in reclusion and study, and Magnus fit in well with this group due to his incredible psychic potential.{{Cite Marker EndFn|13}}
In the end, the only good thing about Prospero was its remoteness, which made it easy to hide on. It had one major city, [[Tizca]], a gleaming city of white marble, with spires reaching into the sky. It was situated on the most central of the many mountains of the planet, nourished by underground hydroponics and techno-psychic collectible arrays providing sustainable energy. All the towers were gleaming and there were soaring obelisks and towering pyramids.{{Cite Marker EndFn|13}}
When Magnus arrived, he crashed into the central plaza of the city. The city was very vulnerable from attack from above, but no one seemed to notice this until [[Leman Russ (primarch)|Leman Russ]] came and bombarded the planet. He [[Battle of Prospero|attacked the planet]] with extreme viciousness and devastating results, slaughtering all he could find. In the end, after a grueling duel between the two primarchs, Magnus cast spells that took all of the great city, his marines, and his precious libraries to a new Homeworld, the [[Planet of Sorcerers]].{{Cite Marker EndFn|2b}}
Later in the Heresy, the [[White Scars]] under [[Jaghatai Khan]] arrived to investigate what had transpired. They found no survivors from either side and the vengeful ghosts of slain Thousand Sons wandering the ruins of Tizca. The Khan was confronted by a shade of Magnus, who discussed both of their successes and failures and may have been tempting his brother to join the forces of [[Chaos]]. After refusing Magnus, Jaghatai then refused the newly arrived [[Mortarion]] and the two Primarch's battled as their fleets clashed in space. After a brief but intense battle between Astartes warships, the Death Guard disengaged.{{Fn|3}}
