PSI Magnet: Difference between revisions

[[File:PSI Magnet M3.png|thumb|Kumatora using PSI Magnet α in ''Mother 3''.]]

PSI Magnet appears in all three {{uv|Mother}} games. However, neither Ness nor Lucas can use it in their source games; instead, PSI Magnet is learned by some of their friends and party members, {{s|wikibound|Paula}} and {{s|wikibound|Poo}} in ''EarthBound'' and {{s|wikibound|Kumatora}} in ''Mother 3'' respectively.

In all three of the ''Mother'' games, the move involves the user absorbing an enemy's Psychic Points (PP) and adding it to their own PP: PSI Magnet drains 10 PP in ''Mother'' and 2-8 PP in ''EarthBound'' and ''Mother 3''. It does not, however, absorb incoming attacks, that being a property of PSI Shield. As PP are not a mechanic in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, PSI Magnet recovers a small amount of health instead: this could be a reference to the healing technique {{iw|wikibound|Lifeup}} which, unlike PSI Magnet, is available to both Ness and Lucas in their respective games.
