How many mag abilities are there anyway? :unsure:

I haven't seen a majority of the episodes, so I don't really know the types of mag-powers there are in the series. Can anyone briefly describe some of the mag powers there are, please?

I know about 2. They're ancient...as usual... there's the Mag Claw (not sure what it does) and the Mag Rip (I think its when they shoot little balls from their hands...I think) I'm certain of their name though.

Well i can't certainly tell you there names but i do know episodes that they were in for example "The Return of Drakkus", "Paynn raises" and "when opposites" attract.
sorry!! :D

Mmm.... counting all of them, i think there would be quite alot.....

Mag-push
Mag-pull
Mag-bounce
Mag-escape
Mag-blast
Mag-rip
Mag-shield

I'm too tired to remember the rest.

In opposites attract, Armaggeddon tells Moordryd to use a mag-rip to drain DB's energy. Something like, "Use the mag-rip like I taught you. Take the victor's spoils." So if you've seen that, you know know what a mag-rip is. Which drains energy... look's pretty hard to do... ^_^

I wonder why dragon booster wasn't taught any mag abilities except... for jumping into the air

Well, yah, it seemed like Artha didn't even know what magrip was. So, conor must have thoguht him not ready for it or something. That would make it pretty advanced.

*puts on specs and lab coat* Bear in mind that this information is pretty much done with fudging. *clears throat*

Magnetic draconium force, also more commonly known as magging, is the processing of various types of metal draconium energy through a source, such as gear racks and especially dragons. There needs to be a draconium source in order to mag. If there is no draconium source available, then magging cannot be done.

With dragons and sometimes humans, magging can be expanded into various techniques. The following is a list of several famous mag-abilities that we've seen so far, with a description of what it is provided with each ability. (Feel free to correct any mistakes I made. Some of these episodes I haven't watched with the abilities yet.)

Mag - This is the basic type of mag done by dragons. This is usually in comparison with Star Wars' levitational magnetic force. Basically a source of the dragon's bone color draconium is charged at a certain draconium focus point, usually the forehead. Once concentrated and focused, a stream of draconium energy is then fired out at a chosen velocity and strength, and is used to lift various substances. The substances however must have some source of draconium in them. Humans are magged because of the draconium metal contained in the suits they wear.

When magging gear, a dragon must focus on many of its draconium focus points to mag the gear properly. Since many types of unbalanced draconium radiates from the gear, the dragon must find a way to balance the source of the gear with its own source. It will be harder for the dragon to mag on certain types of draconium gear if his or her secondary draconium influences are not that type of draconium.

Note that mag-streams consume draconium energy, so the amount of draconium energy in a source can affect the strength, durability and speed of a mag-stream. Also, bear in mind that mag-streams can be cut off by various types of obstacles and projectiles.

Mag-fire - This is an offensive part of a mag done by dragons, put into another ability because of its depth in definition. The draconium energy is charged into a draconium focus point, and it is fired with so much strength it damages the substance it hits. For example, if a mag-stream is mag-fired at a rock pillar, the rock pillar will take damage, and crumble. Mag-fire is usually not as continuous as normal magging, but as you already know, all mag-abilities take up draconium energy.

Mag-jump - This is somewhat different than the normal mag. It requires the dragon to charge up quite a bit of draconium energy into certain draconium focus points. The power is charged downwards near the legs, which are bent in position to jump. The mag-stream then pushes and propels the dragon upwards as it leaps, and causes the dragon to jump extremely high. The velocity of the mag-jump is also capable of breaking through obstacles and the likes.

Mag-push - This is when a dragon channels its mag-energy through a source, such as its human rider. Once the rider has control over the dragon's mag-energy, he or she concentrates the energy to their hands, and fires out a stream of that draconium energy. This mag-ability is very difficult to learn, because it requires near-perfect focus by the rider and the rider and dragon working together mentally and physically in harmony.

It is also not to be used by the inexperienced and weak, for it continues to drain the dragon's energy AND human physical energy. Also, the amount of giga-dracs contained in a dragon's draconium energy can be unstable for humans, and CAN kill a human if the amount of draconium energy channeled to the human is overloaded.

Note that a human does not necessarily have to be riding a dragon in order to mag-push. However, this is EXTREMELY dangerous.

:bblast: :gblast:

If a single user is holding enough channeled draconium giga-dracs to carry around independently, then he or she can do mag-blasts with that limited energy without a dragon's assistance.

Mag-pull - Quite basically using the more levitational part of mag-push. Not recommended either because basically the same thing as mag-push.

Mag-claw - This is the ancient fighting art of humans using a variety of offensive mag techniques, revived from 3,000 years ago. It is extremely dangerous in so many ways. Most of them have to do with the reasons mag-pushing is not recommended.

Mag-bounce - Unclarified. Anybody want to provide a definition for me to technobabble? :P

Mag-escape - Same with this one.

Mag-blast - A large concentrated amount of offensive mag-fire. I think. Please clarify if incorrect.

Mag-rip - A highly advanced mag-draining technique that works the same way a super-powered energy draining whip would work. In fact, the stream of mag-energy shot down highly resembles a black draconium energy drain whip.

Mag-shield - A dome of draconium energy concentrated around the dragon (and its rider) that shields it from virtually any elemental substance. It is believed though that a huge amount of draconium energy is needed in order to at the least ever use this technique.

Mag-inversion - The rider uses the dragon's channeled mag-energy to reverse gravity, and assume the illusion of actually flying.

*pulls off specs and throws off lab coat* Class dismissed. Make sure to study (and tell me about what those unclarified mag abilities are)! ^^

Yes mam! ^_^

Hey Skylii, that's a great summary! I really need some general dragon information like this on dragon-city.org. Would you mind if I used this as a starting point? You'd get credit for writing it, of course.

Like I said before, thanks, and of course! ^^

Added "mag-inversion" thanks to PyroWarriorZ's description of it.

This is really a great summary Skylii, it will help a lot, thanks! :)

Great summary Skylii!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely Drac!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't know there was so many! :faint:

mag bounce: i think its something along the lines of using energy to propell yourself, sorta to do a "superman" jump. i think artha was using it in "the defiant"

mag escap eis probably something simply flashy, to make the oposite person blink so you can make a quick escape. sorta like a flash stick, but you dont blind your oponate?

There's also:

Mag-Burst: Somewhat like a Mag-Blast, except able to target multiple foes in a radius around the dragon. The dragon charges up draconium energy and looses it in a radius. Anyone in that radius will be thrown outwards.

to Skylii there is also a mag fury it is where the character shoots out thousand of mag bolts at once while spinning in mid air as seen by armaggedon in battle for the ages.

I finally got this information up on dragon-city.org. I started with the list of mag abilities and expanded it out to include some general information about dragons. Check it out. I call it:

Connor's Guide to Dragons

It's meant to be kind of a fun thing. Let me know if there are any additional mag abilities I missed. I'm sticking to just the mag abilities that are given names in the show for now. Also, if you think of something else that really should be on this page, then suggest it and I'll think about it.

oh and something else there is this one done by DB in cain's mutiny i think it is the same as the mag shield but only bigger, or maybe it is a mag dome i don't really know what to call it, it makes a big shield or dome around DB and it can blow everyone away also seen by drakkus and mortis in return of drakkus episode 2, so i just wanted to clear that up, i am not sure which is which i think they are the same only bigger.

The mag-bounce is the technique for making a mag-blast bouce from one place to another. For example, Dryd uses it to bouce a mag-blast off of one target and into another, triggering both in a fraction of the time.

When mag-escape is used the user (and their dragon if they are riding it) are enveloped in a kind of greenish glow which distorts the view of them. Over a time of several seconds after this glow appears, the user fades away, reappearing at a point an indeterminate distance away. Presumably there is some way to control where you appear. Drakkus uses it at the end of "The Return of Drakkus, part 2" and punches the ground as he does so, creating a cloud of dust. He also uses it at the end of his duel with Armeggadon in "The Defiant", where it is seen much more clearly.

A mag-blast is one of those projectile-things the humans are always throwing around.
A mag-bolt is the kind of thing that the dragons produce - a stream of mag-energy, the term usually being used in reference to an offensive use of mag-energy.


The "mag-dome" that Drakkus and Abandonn create in "The Return of Drakkus" and the one that (I believe) the Dragon Booster uses in Cain's Mutiny are super-powered versions of mag-shields.
