"Manipulate metallic objects using magnetism. Grab on to metallic objects using the magnetic energy that pours forth from the Magnesis rune. Objects held in the magnetic snare can be lifted up and moved freely."

— Sheikah Slate description, Breath of the Wild

Magnesis is a Rune ability for the Sheikah Slate, obtained in Breath of the Wild. It enables Link to lift, carry, and manipulate metal objects.

Location and uses

The Magnesis Rune is unlocked using the Guidance Stone in the Oman Au Shrine. When using it, a bright pink overlay covers the environment, with all metal objects in the vicinity being highlighted in magenta. If an applicable object is within range and being aimed at, it will turn yellow and can be targeted. Pressing A to use the Rune will have Link form a holographic magnet around the Sheikah Slate and fire a magnetic snare from it, which will attach to the targeted object and enable him to carry it freely.

Link can freely manipulate the magnetized object, either by moving it through the air, dropping it, or pushing/pulling it: Applicable objects include metal equipment, Boxes, doors, plates, or Treasure Chests. This can be used offensively, by dropping heavy objects on top of enemies to damage them, or to solve puzzles and reach new areas. However, Link is limited to a light trot while manipulating an object, and if he begins to run or loses safe footing, he will automatically disengage the snare and drop the object. Additionally, Magnesis cannot grab mobile objects or be upgraded at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.

Spin-off appearances

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Magnesis is unlocked alongside Stasis after clearing Road to the Ancient Lab, and can be used by any warrior. When used, it involves grabbing all metallic objects within the vicinity; This includes both metal weapons wielded by enemies, and nearby Metal Boxes. The grabbed metal objects will then be utilized for an offensive technique that differs depending on the warrior being used. Once used in this manner, the player's Runes go on cooldown for a short time, although if no metal objects are available to grab, there is no cooldown. Magnesis is also required to unearth buried Treasure Chests found in certain battles.

Magnesis can be used to counter enemies throwing metallic weapons. As the enemy is winding up to throw their weapon, a large Magnesis icon will appear in front of them as a counter prompt: If Magnesis is used quickly enough, the warrior will catch the thrown weapon and throw it back at the enemy, dealing damage and exposing their Weak Point Gauge.

Trivia

One of the most comedic uses for Magnesis is to create "Flying Machines", which require two relatively flat metallic surfaces to be placed on top of each other while Link uses Magnesis on the bottom one to lift it while standing on the top one. This requires careful commands, as brusque movements may cause the contraption to break apart. While using it, Link can travel anywhere on Hyrule or fly to unfathomable heights in the sky, but extremely slowly. These contraptions can be created using the metallic mining carts at Death Mountain, or the metallic scoop and chest at the Yowaka Ita Shrine.

+The Magnesis Rune is unlocked using the [[Guidance Stone]] in the [[Oman Au Shrine]]. When using it, a bright pink overlay covers the environment, with all metal objects in the vicinity being highlighted in magenta. If an applicable object is within range and being aimed at, it will turn yellow and can be targeted. Pressing A to use the Rune will have Link form a holographic magnet around the Sheikah Slate and fire a magnetic snare from it, which will attach to the targeted object and enable him to carry it freely.
-The Magnesis Rune is obtained in the [[Oman Au Shrine]] while exploring the [[Great Plateau]]. Like [[Cryonis]], Magnesis is inexhaustible and cannot be upgraded at the [[Hateno Ancient Tech Lab]].
-The Rune allows Link to move metallic objects and weapons. Moveable objects shine in a light magenta color when the rune is activated, and can be grabbed when they're within the rune's range, indicated by a change of color from the aforementioned magenta to yellow. This includes moving large doors, metallic balls, and chests that are beneath the water. By lifting single doors from their initial resting spot, Link can move them over a gap to create a bridge to a new area. When moving metallic balls, Link can place them in a similarly shaped hole to solve puzzles in other dungeons, or block non-metallic boulders to clear a path. Aside from that, the movement of the objects grabbed by the rune allows them to be used as weapons to ram against enemies, or by dropping those on top of them, as well as providing cover from both sight and attacks.
+Link can freely manipulate the magnetized object, either by moving it through the air, dropping it, or pushing/pulling it: Applicable objects include metal equipment, [[Box|Boxes]], doors, plates, or [[Treasure Chest]]s. This can be used offensively, by dropping heavy objects on top of enemies to damage them, or to solve puzzles and reach new areas. However, Link is limited to a light trot while manipulating an object, and if he begins to run or loses safe footing, he will automatically disengage the snare and drop the object. Additionally, Magnesis cannot grab mobile objects or be upgraded at the [[Hateno Ancient Tech Lab]].
-Magnesis is tremendously powerful, as it allows Link to lift metallic objects that could easily weigh several tons; however, it requires Link to have safe footing while using it, and dropping from even a small height will cause the rune's function to be interrupted. Aside from that, it has a limited range of reach and function, and it can only be used with Link aiming at the object, so Link cannot drag objects behind himself to use it. Link can lightly trot while using Magnesis, but it's interrupted if he starts to run. It's not necessary for metallic objects to be stationary to use Magnesis, just as long as they're locked upon within the range of the rune, and metallic weapons can be acted upon with the rune as long as they're not being wielded by enemies.
