Magnes is a back glyph that creates a magnetic field, allowing Shanoa to pull and fling herself from metal spheres. It is also her Personal Skill in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.
In order to use this glyph, Shanoa must find a magnetic disc found in obvious areas of the dungeon (usually in mid-air), and hold the R Button on the Nintendo DS (or 3DS). There is a radius wherein Shanoa automatically attaches herself to the center of the magnetic disc, as a blue circumference appears around her. She can then use the directional keys to aim and propel herself in a straight line like a slingshot. Should she fall off or miss, Shanoa can use the glyph to re-attach herself to the disc by holding the R Button once more. The length of the pull affects Shanoa's distance and velocity, so it is often recommended to utilize the glyph's maximum pull length, though some sections requires a lesser distance, for example, when acquiring the Pneuma glyph in Order of Ecclesia.
Although it has a coded 10 ATK power and the Light attribute in Order of Ecclesia, it lacks attack hitboxes and is completely harmless to enemies.
In Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, Magnes can be used anywhere and does not require finding a magnetic disc. The player only determines her launch direction (which where the line is being aimed), not the launch strength.
