Information on how to make simple, effective Mags for every 4th evolution can be found here.

A player with their starter Mag

Mags are equippable robotic companions that accompany hunters on their quests and help out in various ways. Mags are primarily used to increase a characters's stats, but they can also offer other bonuses, such as casting Resta, Shifta, and Deband on the player, granting temporary invincibility, and unleashing powerful attacks known as Photon Blasts.

All characters start with a level 5 Mag, which grants the player 5 base DFP, and a Mag's stats and level can be raised by "feeding" it various consumable items. Feeding the Mag will cause it to level up depending on type of Mag and item given, which can grant a character extra base stats.

Mags can also be found as various box drops in Mine, Jungle East and Mountain. For specific item sources, see Mag.

Mag basics

An overview of a Mag's stats

Stats

Mags have four unique stats of their own: DEF, POW, DEX, and MIND. A mag's level is equal to the sum of its levels in every stat. All mags start out at level 5 with 5 DEF. A Mag can have a maximum level of 200, with each stat also having an individual maximum of 200 (though this can be difficult or even impossible to achieve). A Mag's stats are typically expressed in the form of DEF/POW/DEX/MIND.

Mags also have two secondary stats, which determine the power of their triggers and Photon Blasts. These stats are Synchro, which can range from 0-120%, and IQ, ranging from 0-200. These stats have no effect on the Mag's total level or a character's stats, and are increased (or decreased) independently. A penalty of 5% synchro loss is applied to any mag equipped upon a character's death.

Stat	Description
DEF	Grants the player 1 base DFP per level
POW	Grants the player 2 base ATP per level
DEX	Grants the player 0.5 base ATA per level
MIND	Grants the player 2 base MST per level
Synchro	Determines the damage dealt by Photon Blasts, and activation rate of some triggers
IQ	Determines the strength of Shifta, Deband, and Resta granted by the Mag, and has a small impact on the damage dealt by some Photon Blasts

Raising

Mags must be fed a variety of items to level their stats, which will be granted to the character while the mag is equipped. Mags can be fed three consumable items every 3 minutes and 30 seconds; if a mag is only fed one or two items, it will still only be able to be fed three items when the timer resets.

Each item fed to a Mag will grant it an amount of experience in each stat. How much experience is gained and which stats are increased depends on both the item fed, as well as the type of mag (with each mag having a pre-determined feeding table). As a result, it is important to feed each Mag the correct items depending on how the player wishes for the Mag to level. Mags may also lose experience in their stats depending on the item, but they cannot lose levels.

Evolution

At levels 10, 35, and 50, Mags will evolve, granting them a new form and potentially learning a Photon Blast. How the mag evolves depends on the stats of the Mag, the section ID of the character to feed it the last item before evolution, and the class of the character evolving the Mag. After level 50, Mags may also evolve every 5 levels if another evolution condition is met.

Photon Blasts

Main article: Photon Blasts

A Mag with three Photon Blasts

Photon Blasts are special attacks Mags can perform. Photon Blasts can only be used after a Mag has reached level 10 and has learned its first Photon Blast, and only once the Mag's Photon Blast gauge has reached 100, with the gauge increasing through either dealing or receiving damage.

Once the player has built to 100 Photon Blast (commonly abbreviated "PB"), the Photon Blast can be unleashed by pressing the appropriate button on the alternate palette; any other actions assigned to the alternate palette will become unavailable until a Photon Blast is used, the Mag is unequipped, or the player returns to Pioneer 2.

Every Mag can learn up to three different Photon Blasts: one at level 10; a second at level 35; a third at level 50 (as long as the Photon Blast learned by the level 50 evolution is not one the Mag has already learned (e.g. if a Mag learns the Photon Blast Golla at level 35, and again at level 50, it will only have two Photon Blasts)). If the Mag does not learn a Photon Blast at level 50, it may learn another one if it evolves again into another Mag that has a Photon Blast not previously learned.

PB gain formulas
Action	Formula
Dealt damage	`Damage dealt / (character level * 15.0)`
Received damage	`(Damage taken * 20.0) / (character level * 15.0)`

Mag triggers

Mags may possess "triggers," which are special effects that can occur under three different circumstances.

These triggers are not guaranteed to occur. Each individual Mag has a pre-determined "trigger rate," which is the baseline percentage chance for any of a Mag's triggers to activate.

Criteria	Description
100 PB	May occur when the player reaches a full Photon Blast gauge
10% HP	May occur when the player loses over 20% HP and drops under 10% HP simultaneously
Boss room	May occur when the player enters a boss room

There are three different effects which can be granted when a Mag trigger activates:

Icon	Name	Description
	Invulnerability	Grants the player 30 seconds of invulnerability from all direct damage sources. HP/TP reducing effects (such as Berserk and Spirit) will still apply, and damage from Dark Falz's soul bind will still occur
	Resta	Casts Resta. Level cast is `(IQ/40)+1`, for a maximum level of 6
	Shifta and Deband	Casts Shifta and Deband. Level cast is `(IQ/40)+1`, for a maximum level of 6

Synchro triggers

Some Mags have triggers that are affected by Synchro, either positively or negatively. Thus, they are referred to as "positive" or "negative" triggers, and are represented by (+) and (-) respectively.

Depending on Synchro, the Mag is boosted by the below table.

Synchro	Rate Boost
0-30%	+0%
31-60%	+15%
61-80%	+25%
81-100%	+30%
101-120%	+35%

A "positive" (+) trigger has its rate increased depending on the synchro of the Mag. This boost is applied, additively, directly to the baseline trigger rate of the Mag.
A "negative" (-) trigger ignores the baseline trigger rate of the Mag, and only considers the Synchro Boost. This means any negative trigger has an effective base rate of 0%, and a maximum possible trigger rate of 35%.

Mag colors

Mags can come in one of 30 different colors. A character's starting Mag color depends on the costume selected at character creation. Mags found from item boxes will always come with a random color.

A Mag's color will not change as it evolves through leveling, but some Mags will show the color more or less than others, with some mags either being entirely one color (e.g. Sato, Puyo), and other Mags not incorporating the color at all (e.g. Rappy, Tellusis).

Original colors

These colors can either be obtained from character creation, or from a Mag dropped from an item box. All of these colors were available on the original Blue Burst servers.

First evolution mags

First evolution Mags occur at level 10, and their evolution depends solely on the class of the character that raises the Mag's level to 10.

Mag Name	Evolution Conditions	PB Learned	Trigger Rate (%)	Triggers			Feed Table
Mag Name	Evolution Conditions	PB Learned	Trigger Rate (%)	100 PB	1/10 HP	Boss Room	Feed Table
Varuna	HU evolves Mag	Farlla	40	Invincibility	-	S&D	Table 1
Kalki	RA evolves Mag	Estlla	40	Invincibility	-	S&D	Table 1
Vritra	FO evolves Mag	Leilla	40	Invincibility	-	Resta	Table 1

Second evolution Mags

Second evolution Mags occur at level 35, and their evolution depends on what Mag they evolved from, and what their highest stat is. The class of the character raising the Mag's level to 35 is irrelevant in almost all cases; for example, if the Mag is a Kalki, it can only evolve into Surya, Mitra, and Tapas.

If two stats are equal, the Mag will evolve depending on the class that evolved its first evolution; for example, if a Mag's stats are 7/14/14/0:

Varuna follows POW > Others. Evolves into

Rudra.

Kalki follows DEX > Others. Evolves into

Mitra.

Vritra follows MIND > Others. Evolves into

Namuci.

Third evolution Mags

Third evolution mags occur at level 50, and every five levels after that, and their evolution depends on what conditions are satisfied when the Mag is raised to an appropriate level.

Starting at level 50 and beyond, a Mag can evolve again with one feed during an evolution level (e.g. the Mag is currently level 50, 55, 75, etc.) by transferring the Mag to a different character. This can be useful for the purposes of switching feeding tables, or using Mag cells.

Note: Equality conditions for equations including "≥" have not all been verified yet.

Fourth evolution Mags

If you're looking to make one of these mags, check out the beginner Mag guide which shows how to easily make all of these mags from scratch.

Fourth evolution Mags occur first at level 100 and any 10th level thereafter where their formulas are met (110, 120, 130... etc.), and can only be evolved from a third evolution Mag. Unlike other evolutions, fourth evolutions are not guaranteed as they require a specific class, sex, and a formula to be met based on ID. If you used a character that does not have a fourth evolution for the formula you attempted, you can switch to another character that does have a fourth evolution and feed the Mag once to evolve it. Once a Mag has evolved into a fourth evolution, it cannot evolve further based on its stat makeup.

Cell Mags

Cell Mags are fourth evolution Mags that are obtained through the usage of a Mag cell on another Mag. Most cell Mags evolve from third evolution Mags. Most Mags that have reached fourth evolution cannot evolve again. In several instances Mags can evolve from fourth evolution Mags or a Mag.

All cell Mags use feeding table 7.

Trivia

Many Mags are named after personalities in Hindu mythology.
On January 9, 2017, class restrictions on the Angel's Wing, Devil's Wing, and Elenor Mags were removed.

-Mags have four unique stats of their own: DEF, POW, DEX, and MIND. A mag's level is equal to the sum of its levels in every stat. All mags start out at level 5 with 5 DEF. A Mag can have a total level of 200, with each stat also having a limit of 200.
+Mags have four unique stats of their own: DEF, POW, DEX, and MIND. A mag's level is equal to the sum of its levels in every stat. All mags start out at level 5 with 5 DEF. A Mag can have a maximum level of 200, with each stat also having an individual maximum of 200 (though this can be difficult or even impossible to achieve). A Mag's stats are typically expressed in the form of <code>DEF/POW/DEX/MIND</code>.
-Mags also have two secondary stats, which determine the power of their triggers and Photon Blasts. These are Synchro, with a limit of 120%, and IQ, with a limit of 200. These stats have no effect on the Mag's total level, and are increased or decreased independently.
+Mags also have two secondary stats, which determine the power of their [[Mags#Mag triggers|triggers]] and [[Mags#Photon Blasts|Photon Blasts]]. These stats are Synchro, which can range from 0-120%, and IQ, ranging from 0-200. These stats have no effect on the Mag's total level or a character's stats, and are increased (or decreased) independently. A penalty of 5% synchro loss is applied to any mag equipped upon a character's death.

-Mags must be fed a variety of items to level their stats, which will then be transferred to the player when equipped. Mags can be fed three consumable items every 3 minutes and 30 seconds; if a mag is only fed one or two items, it will still only be able to be fed three items when the timer resets.

-Each item fed to a Mag will grant it an amount of experience in each stat. How much experience is gained and which stats are increased depends on both the item fed, as well as the type of mag. As a result it is important to feed each Mag the correct items depending on how the player wishes for the Mag to level. Mags may also ''lose experience'' in their stats depending on the item, but they cannot lose ''levels''.

 [[File:Mag PB.png|frame|A Mag with three Photon Blasts]]
-Photon Blasts are special attacks Mags can perform. Photon Blasts can only be used after a Mag has reached level 10 and has learned its first Photon Blast, and only once the Mag's Photon Blast gauge has reached 100%, through either dealing or receiving damage. Once the player has built to 100%, the Photon Blast can be unleashed by pressing the appropriate button on the alternate palette; any other actions assigned to the alternate palette will become unavailable until a Photon Blast is used, the Mag is unequipped, or the player returns to Pioneer 2.

-A Mag can learn up to three different Photon Blasts, learning another Photon Blast at level 35, and a third at level 50 (as long as the Photon Blast learned by the level 50 evolution is not one the Mag has already learned (e.g. if a Mag learns the Photon Blast Golla at level 35, and again at level 50, it will only have two Photon Blasts)). If the Mag does not learn a Photon Blast at level 50, it may learn another one if it evolves again into another Mag that has a Photon Blast not previously learned.
