Lyric is the form that Tricia took when she cast off her humanity and fully gave herself over to the wonders of music.

As mortal man distingishes it. Lyric has been studying the art of tapping musics true potential on a spiritual level since 1987. She has become quite powerful and music magic. She has taken several students under her wing, one of which was Major Tom who's attack on the institute indirectly lead to Major Tom and Rift seemingly dying.

Lyric contacted the x men and proposed a deal with them. It seemed that in addition to the spells that the x men were already aware of that had been cast by Major Tom, he had also managed to put a compulsion curse on Rift to casue him to sleep-walk to the nearest phone periodically and call Major Tom's cellphone and tell Major Tom ciritical and sensitive details about the goings on at the institute. With Major Tom dead the magical bond between him and his phone was passed to Lyric, who wanted nothing to do with anything that reminded her of her traitorous, former student and so traded the phone to the x men in exchange for the x men sigtning a contract written in an obscure music based language that Lyric and her translator/assistant described the contents of as a standard I scratch your back, you owe me one favor to be named later. The x men signed and the favor being asked of them was immediately revealed as being instructions for the x men to see to the construction of a small house/recording studio built to exact specifications on the grounds of the institute in which two unknown people were to reside un-disturbed by the x men until such time as the occupants of the house chose to make their presence known.

Lyric sent the personification of the humanity she discarded to live in the house that she had the x men build and along with her Lyric sent Gabriel Horne so that the two of them could safe-guard each other.

Appendix: Lyric's Spells
Lyric has never really needed to use any spells in her dealing with the x men and so what those spells are, remains largely unknown
