Evolution comes first

Mags evolve at specific level thresholds. The first two are levels 10 and 35. After that, evolution is checked at level 50 and at every fifth level beyond it - 55, 60, 65, and so on - and from level 100 there is a further set of rare evolutions.

What a Mag becomes depends on its stats at the moment of evolution and on the character feeding it, but not every evolution uses all of that. The level 10 evolution is decided by your character's class alone. The level 35 evolution goes by the Mag's own stats - which of POW, DEX, or MIND is leading. Section ID only begins to matter at level 50 and above, and again in the rare evolutions from 100. That is true of evolution; two of the cells further down read it at any level. Because these conditions cannot always be reversed, understanding evolution early prevents accidental outcomes that may limit future options.

The first two evolutions cannot be missed - anything from level 10 to 34 will trigger the first, and anything from 35 to 49 the second. From level 50 onward the check only happens when your Mag's level is an exact multiple of five, so it is possible to pass one without landing on it. Whether that can happen to you comes down to what you are feeding. An item that raises only one stat can never move the level by more than one, so it can never jump a checkpoint. Items that raise two or more stats at once can, because two of them can tick over a whole number in the same feed - and Star Atomizers, which raise all four, are the likeliest of all. By the time your Mag is near level 50, the single-stat foods are Monomate and Dimate for POW and Monofluid and Difluid for MIND, so if you are aiming at a particular evolution, feed those as you get close.

At level 10 — by class alone

At level 35 — by current Mag and leading stat

DEF is not looked at.

If two stats tie for highest, the result is fixed rather than random: Kalki → Mitra, Varuna → Rudra, Vritra → Namuci. Each family resolves a tie to a different one of its three branches, so this is worth checking rather than guessing.

From level 50, your section ID starts to matter when a Mag evolves. It is fixed when you make a character and cannot be changed afterwards. The ten are Viridia, Greennill, Skyly, Bluefull, Purplenum, Pinkal, Redria, Oran, Yellowboze, Whitill — and at this checkpoint what counts is only whether yours is an odd or an even one in that order. Two characters of the same class, with the same stats, can come out of the same evolution with different Mags purely because of it.

At level 100 the section ID is read differently again — not odd or even this time, but which of three groups it falls into. Together with your class, your character's gender and an exact balance between the four stats, that is what decides which of the rare Mags is reachable.

The nine you can reach this way are Deva, Rati, Savitri, Rukmin, Pushan, Diwari, Sato, Bhima and Nidra — and none of them is a sure thing. Two of the four conditions are fixed when you make the character and cannot be changed later, the stat balance has to be exact rather than close, and the check only happens when your Mag’s level lands on a multiple of five — so a Mag going from 99 to 101 skips it entirely. Worth knowing before you chase one: none of the nine carries a Photon Blast. If you are feeding for a blast, this branch is the one that ends without one. Unlike the cells further down, there is no way to check in advance whether you will get there.

What Mag stats do

Feeding

Mags are raised by feeding them consumable items. They can be fed up to three items per feeding cycle. The next cycle opens 3 minutes 30 seconds after the first item of the previous one rather than after the last, so there is nothing to gain by spacing the three out. That interval is Silus's own, from playing here - the server does not model feeding time at all, so it is not something the generated tables on this page could tell you. Different items raise different stats depending on the Mag's current form. Feeding the wrong item can eat into your progress toward the next point in a stat, but it can never take away a point you have already gained - a Mag's level never goes backwards. This makes early feeding choices important even at low levels.

A Mag's total level is the sum of these four stats, with each one rounded down before it is added. That is worth knowing if you are checking the numbers yourself: a Mag showing 22.07 DEF, 60.57 POW, 10.96 DEX and 1.09 MIND is level 93, not 95. The fractions are dropped first and added after, not the other way round.

Feeding planner

Work out what your Mag actually becomes. Pick your class and section ID, start from a new Mag or type in the one you have, say what you mean to feed it, and this runs the server's own evolution rules over it feed by feed - including the checkpoints a feed can step straight over. No account needed, and nothing is stored.

Fill it in and press Work it out. It will show every evolution on the way, and what each of the eleven foods would do to the Mag you described.

What each item does depends on which Mag you have. Find yours below — the name is the one shown on your character's Mag.

Mag cells

Some Mags are not reached by feeding at all. They come from cells — rare items you use on a Mag you already have equipped. A cell keeps the Mag's level, stats and Photon Blasts and only changes what it is.

The names below are the ones your game uses, both for the cell you use and for the Mag you get. Both are read from this server's item table.

The menu tells you where you stand before you commit to anything. If a cell shows no Use option at all on your equipped Mag, it is not going to work on that Mag as things stand — either it is the wrong Mag for that cell, or a level it needs has not been reached. If Use is showing but you cannot select it, that is one of the six cells in the last table below, and it means you have the right kind of Mag but it is not yet at level 100 — keep raising it. If Use is there and you can select it, it will work. Checking costs nothing.

Cells that work on most evolved Mags

These accept any Mag that has already been through a level 50 evolution. There are 23 of those and they are named below. What decides it is the Mag itself, not its current level — a Mag can climb past 50 without ever landing on a multiple of five, so a level 35 form can be well beyond level 50 and still not qualify.

No Mag from a level 35 evolution qualifies, however high its level. If your Mag is one of these 9, it has to evolve again before any of these cells will work on it: Ashvinau, Marutah, Mitra, Namuci, Rudra, Sumba, Surya, Tapas, Vayu. That applies to the cells in this table and the next one — the six in the last table go by their own rule, so check there before you write a Mag off.

The 23: Andhaka, Apsaras, Bana, Bhirava, Durga, Garuda, Ila, Kabanda, Kaitabha, Kama, Kumara, Madhu, Marica, Naga, Nandin, Naraka, Ravana, Ribhava, Sita, Soma, Ushasu, Varaha, Yaksa.

You cannot waste a cell. Each cell needs a particular Mag, and some also need that Mag or your character to have reached a certain level — the Needs column says which. If anything it asks for is not met, the game does not offer the Use option at all, and the cell stays in your inventory.

Cells that need one particular Mag

These only work on the Mag named in the On column. Some form chains — where the Mag you need is itself made by an earlier cell, those have to be done in order. Others need a Mag you reach by evolving.

Cells that need a level 100 Mag on the ordinary evolution path

These six work differently from every other cell on this page, and nothing said above about which Mags qualify applies to them. What they need is a Mag that has not already been changed by a cell or by a rare evolution — any Mag still on the ordinary evolution path qualifies, at any stage of it — and that Mag must be at level 100 or higher. If your Mag is the right kind but not yet level 100, the game shows the Use option greyed out. If it has already been changed, no Use option appears at all. When it does work, the cell is used up and the Mag keeps its level, stats and Photon Blasts.

There is a catch, and it is worth knowing before you start. Reaching level 100 is normally what triggers the rare evolution — which is exactly the change that puts a Mag out of reach of these cells. A Mag only checks for evolution when its level lands exactly on a multiple of five, and its level is the sum of its four whole stat numbers. So a single feeding that carries two stats past a whole number at once raises the level by two and skips the check entirely. Going from 99 straight to 101 leaves the Mag eligible. Once you are past 100, stop feeding — every further multiple of five is another chance to evolve.

Two of them depend on your section ID. It is the same odd-or-even split the level 50 evolution uses, not the three-group rule that applies at level 100. The odd ones are Greennill, Bluefull, Pinkal, Oran, Whitill; the even ones are Viridia, Skyly, Purplenum, Redria, Yellowboze.

Cell of MAG 213 gives Churel on Greennill, Bluefull, Pinkal, Oran, Whitill, and Preta on Viridia, Skyly, Purplenum, Redria, Yellowboze.

Cell of MAG 502 gives Pitri on Greennill, Bluefull, Pinkal, Oran, Whitill, and Soniti on Viridia, Skyly, Purplenum, Redria, Yellowboze.

Typical builds

Photon Blasts

As a Mag evolves, it may learn Photon Blasts, which are powerful special actions shared between the Mag and player. A Mag can learn up to three Photon Blasts total, unlocked at specific evolution points. Photon Blasts require a full gauge to use and play an important role in both solo survival and coordinated group play.

Which Mags give which blast

A Mag gains a Photon Blast at the moment it evolves into a form that carries one — not from being that form. A Mag that reached its form from a cell does not pick up that form’s blast, and a Mag can hold three at most.

Feeding is what gives a Mag its blasts, so they arrive as it evolves. Cells do not touch them — a Mag changed by a cell keeps the blasts it already had.

What each blast does

Your Mag’s Photon Blast gauge fills as you fight, and the blast becomes available once it is full. These are the descriptions the game itself gives:

Mag activations

Some Mags can automatically activate effects when certain conditions are met. Common activation conditions include reaching low health, filling the Photon Blast gauge, entering a boss room, or your character dying. These Mag Activations (Triggers) may include temporary invulnerability, healing, or support techniques. Activation reliability and strength are influenced by the Mag's Synchro and IQ - Synchro affects how often an effect fires, IQ affects how strong it is when it does. Synchro raises the odds in steps rather than smoothly, so crossing 31, 61, 81 or 101 is worth more than the points in between.

One exception is worth knowing. Where the effect is temporary invulnerability, its duration is fixed at 30 seconds. Raising Synchro or IQ will make it fire more often, but it will not make it last longer.

What each Mag does, and how often

Four things can set a Mag off: your Photon Blast gauge filling, your health dropping low, you dying, and entering a boss room. A Mag can have a different effect on each, or none at all.

The percentages below are the chance of the effect firing when its trigger happens. Where a range is shown, the low end is at Synchro 30 or below and the high end at Synchro 101 or above — that is the whole of what Synchro buys you here.

Synchro moves the odds in steps, not smoothly. Up to 30 it adds nothing; 31 to 60 adds 15; 61 to 80 adds 25; 81 to 100 adds 30; and 101 or above adds 35. Crossing 31, 61, 81 or 101 is what counts.

IQ decides how strong the effect is rather than how often it fires: Shifta, Deband and Resta come out at level (IQ ÷ 40) + 1, so a Mag at 200 IQ casts them at level 6. Invincibility is the exception — it always lasts 30 seconds, whatever your IQ and Synchro.
