'Shadowhunters' season 3B: Magnus Bane coping without magic proves he'll always be the High Warlock of Brooklyn

If not anything else, the impact of losing his magical abbilities is manifesting in the form of a strained relationship between Magnus, and his boyfriend, Alec.
UPDATED JAN 24, 2019

Freeform's extremely popular fantasy series 'Shadowhunters' is on the brink of its series finale, with the second half of its third and final season arriving soon, but there are still answers to look for and closures to acquire, and most importantly, surprising storylines to unfold. One of those storylines is that of the High Warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus Bane. 

Played by Harry Shum Jr., the character gained extreme popularity and amassed a colossal fanbase worldwide because of his sexuality, snark, panache, and unique sense of style. Within the three short years of its running, 'Shadowhunters' - based on Cassandra Clare's 'The Mortal Instruments' books - has created a fabulous gay icon on TV like no other because he is as much a mushy, lovey-dovey partner to Alec Lightwood (Matthew Daddario), as he is a kickass fighter when it comes to slaying demons. But as season 3B will arrive, we will get to see Magnus in a whole new light; he will be everything he was, yet nothing at all.
