Magizmo

__NOTOC__
Magizmo is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. She is the Gizmo plant for the Enlighten-mint family, and she serves a bit of a hybrid role where she specializes in amplifying all forms of sun production but also deals lots of raw damage, with plenty of support for other sun-producing plants thrown in. She has two main attacks, one which is an automatically-fired piercing bolt and another which works more like 's attack in which it costs and is fired on demand. She has a host of secondary abilities, ranging from increasing the maximum amount of sun that can be stored in the bank to simply speeding up the rate of sun production for her fellow plants.
Only one Gizmo plant can be brought into a level, and only one can exist at a time. They are not damaged or affected by zombie attacks. Gizmos consume all plants of their family when planted, and gain extra power based on the total sun value of the plants consumed. For example, if a Gizmo were to consume 1100 sun worth of plants, they would reach Phase 5 and be considerably stronger than Phase 1. All Gizmo plants have 10 Phases, with new abilities added at Phase 5 and Phase 10 - this is not a rule that Magizmo follows.
Magizmo requires 2000 "seed packets" to unlock. Every time you get a seed packet for an Enlighten-mint family plant, Magizmo also gets 1 seed packet. Therefore, to unlock her, you must collect a total of 2000 Enlighten-mint family seed packets. Magizmo cannot be upgraded and has no Mastery levels.
Gizmo plants are designed to thrive in Arena, especially when fighting Dr. Zomboss, and are not made for Adventure.
== Origins ==
	In a shocking turn of events that no one could have foreseen, Magizmo is based on Magnifying Grass, a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. She uses sun earned by the player and turns it into a bolt of energy when tapped. Each bolt deals 550 damage to a single zombie and costs 50 sun to fire. Magizmo doesn't quite work the exact same way, but has similarly sun-related powers.

==Strategies==
Magizmo, like all other Gizmo plants, requires an enormous amount of sun to max out. A strategy that can be used is to stall out the early waves with or and to get down as many as possible, only to later replace them with and . As most of your sun should be going into Enlighten-mint family plants for Magizmo to sacrifice, you'll want a cost-efficient defense - a column or so of or something else that can target either multiple lanes or the full lawn should suffice. Don't worry about spending too much sun on Magizmo, as if you reach Phase 10 she will help you produce more sun than you will ever know what to do with. Magizmo's Sun Fracture attack costs some sun to use, but due to all of the various sun-related boosts it exudes that shouldn't be a problem at all.
In terms of Magizmo's functionality, she might not have an Activated Ability like other Gizmos do (for example, or , but she does require a fair bit of player interaction. She has a manually-activated Sun Fracture attack that consumes sun, which means even after she's already down you'll need to have at least some form of sun production, and she causes a lot of sun to be generated in general which will need to be picked up. Other than that, she's basically just a drop-and-forget Gizmo. She'll do her stuff.
