Initially in their battle, Vulkan seemed to hit nothing but smoke and it became apparent he was swinging his hammer at smoke. The real Magnus was behind a psychic barrier, steeped with his own ritual to weaken the Emperor. Vulkan took advantage of this by smashing through the already-stressed Magnus' barrier, forcing the Crimson King to try and kill Vulkan directly so that he may be allowed to complete his work. Magnus tried every method conceivable to kill his brother. He beheaded him with his khopesh, suffocated him by turning his lungs to amber, drained him of his blood, and immolated him with psychic fire. However nothing worked, and each time the [[Perpetual]] Vulkan would regenerate and continue to hammer away at Magnus. Attrition took hold, and Magnus grew increasingly desperate. He entered Vulkan's mind as the noble he had once been, attempting to explain his actions. Vulkan had none of it however, scolding Magnus for his arrogant and reckless use of sorcery that had turned him into a slave to Chaos. In the Webway, Vulkan stood above Magnus ready to deliver the killing blow. However he hesitated despite the Emperor's own voice ordering the Salamanders Primarch to kill his brother. Magnus used this moment to unleash the spell he had been working on, undoing Vulkan at a genetic level in a desperate bid to finally kill him. As Vulkan crumbled apart he nonetheless was able to swing his hammer, smashing off Magnus' head with [[Urdrakule]] and banishing him into the Warp. Later, Vulkan's regenerating form was seen slowly making it back to the Palace's Webway portal, Urdrakule in hand.{{Fn|20c}}
Vulkan eventually made it back into the Throneroom through the Webway Gate, only to be greeted with the news that the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]'' had lowered its [[Void Shield]]s and the Emperor Himself was preparing to lead an assault on the vessel.{{Fn|22a}} However Vulkan was told by His father that he would not take part in this last-ditch effort, instead he would look after the [[Golden Throne]] as [[Malcador the Sigillite|Malcador]] took his place on it in the Emperor's stead. Should the traitors breach the palace, Vulkan was instructed to activate the [[Talisman of Seven Hammers]].{{Fn|22b}} Mere hours later, Vulkan met with [[Ollanius Persson]], [[John Grammaticus]], and [[Argonauts|their group]] finally reached the Palace. There, he learned from [[Actate]] of the prophecy that foretold Horus as The Dark King and the potential fifth [[Chaos God]].{{Fn|22c}}
