Magnesis
Magnesis grabs metal and lets you move it until the rune turns off or the object gets too far. You get it from the Oman Au shrine on the Great Plateau, and it never leaves the slate.
What it actually grabs
Metal chests, iron doors, mine carts, metal weapons and the metal crates in shrines all highlight yellow. Wooden chests and stone do not. If a chest is sitting in a pond, stand on the bank, grab it and drop it at your feet. That is faster than swimming down.
A held metal weapon spins when you attack. You can knock a Bokoblin over with its own dropped sword without spending durability. Drop the object before it pulls you into a Guardian beam. Magnesis does not make you immune to the thing you are holding.
Shrines and the limits
Most Magnesis shrines want you to complete a circuit, pull a switch or lift a platform you can ride. Look for the yellow glint before you burn a weapon on a puzzle that was meant to be lifted.
Very heavy objects move slowly, and the grab breaks at long range. You also cannot grab an object through a solid wall. If the highlight never appears, it is not metal, no matter how much it looks like a chest. Drop the object with the attack button if you need it to fall on a switch instead of floating in your hands.
