Mags are probably the most useful thing in PSO. Every character starts with a mag. By feeding it various items, it will grow, and eventually aquire a special attack technique called a "Photon Blast" that you can waste your enemies with in battle, amongst doing other things such as healing, and bestowing special powers upon you to increase your defense and attack power. Also as your mag grows, each of the 4 catagories ( Def, Pow, Dex and Mind ) which you can level it up in will correspond to your char, so the higher the level your mag, the more powerful your char will become! As a general rule Hunters should try level up their mags Power the most with a little Dex. Rangers should do about even Power and Dex, and Forces should raise Mind, and possibly Def, cause theyre kinda fragile. However, this can differ from player to player, make your mag into whatever you want, its your pet Keep in mind mags have a level cap of 200, as with your character.

Level - The Level of your mag!

Synchro - Attactchment between the player and mag. Decreases by 5 every time you die. The higher the number (max 120%), the faster your PB gauge will fill up, so you can unleash PBs quicker.

IQ - Intelligence of mag. The higher the number, the better the chance of your mag giving your benefits (max 200).

DEF - Defensive quality of your mag. If you are equipped with a mag with high def, you defence value will increase. For each level of DEF, you get 1 DFP on your char.

POW - Offensive quality of your mag. If you are equipped with a mag with high pow, your attack ability will increase.For each level of POW, you get 2 ATP on your char.

DEX - Accuracy quality of your mag. If you are equipped with a mag with high dex, your accuracy will increase. For each level of DEX, you get 0.5 ATA on your char. Mag level of 2 DEX, will give you 1 ATA point.

MIND - Mental quality of your mag. If you are equipped with a mag with high mind, your mental strength will increase. For each level of MST, you get 2 MST on your char.

Once your mag develops to a certain level, it will be able to save up on "Photon Power" discharged when you attack, or are attacked by enemies. The rate of storage is indicated bu the yellow blast gauge in the top left corner of your screen. Once this gauge reaches 100, you can utilise the saved power, in the form of a "Photon Blast!" Each mag can learn up to 3 Photon Blasts, but can only perform 1 at a time. However, when playing in a team, you can chain Photon blasts by activating them around the same time, ( you get 2-3 seconds or so before you miss the chance to combine them ) totally wasting everything! Also doing this increases the power of each photon blast. Another neat thing you can do is when someone has activated a Photon Blast and you only have say 50% of your Photon Gauge filled, you can "support" them by holding R and taping the Y button (decs: I think you can just tap Y). This increases the effect of the Photon Blast. With each tap of the Y button, you contribute 10% of your Photon Gauge, and it can be done up to a maximum of 3 times.
