Magnesis

⚙️ What Is Magnesis?

Magnesis is one of the four runes inscribed into the Sheikah Slate by the ancient Sheikah civilisation. It grants the bearer the ability to generate a powerful magnetic field, allowing them to lift and move metallic objects with precision — even across water or over obstacles that would otherwise be impassable.

🗺️ Where to Obtain It

The rune is awarded upon completing the Oman Au Shrine — the Magnesis Trial — located on the Great Plateau, one of the very first areas Link explores after waking from the Shrine of Resurrection.
