Mag/Main

Release Date: October 25th, 2012
Mag is a Warframe based on magnetic force. She boasts high shield strength in exchange for reduced health, and her abilities make her a potent medium for crowd control and manipulation. She is one of three starter options for new players.
==Acquisition==
Alternatively, upon completion of The Duviri Paradox, Mag's main and component blueprints can be earned from The Circuit. By selecting her on the rotating week she is available, players can earn her blueprints after reaching Tier 2 (Neuroptics), 5 (Chassis), 8 (Systems), and 10 (Main) rewards.
Mag can also be bought complete from Teshin for once players have achieved Typhoon rank in the Conclave.

==Trivia==
*Mag's given name is inspired from a shortened form of magnetism, used in a feminine fashion (see: Magdalene). Other possible inspirations include the concept of magnitude, a tribute to her affinity for dealing "in extremes".
*Mag replaced as an initial choice of Warframe in , though Volt would later replace as a starter Warframe choice in .
*The energy of Mag's helmet can be colored with the Warframe's energy colors, instead of the emissive colors.
*Mag is the first female Warframe to possess a Prime variant.
*Both of Mag's alternate helmets are named after the Gauss projectile accelerator consisting of one or more coils used as linear electromagnets to accelerate a magnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity. Weapons using said mechanic are commonly referred to as either Gauss guns or Coilguns.
**, another Warframe inspired by the creator of the mechanism mentioned above, has an alternate helmet (Gauss Mag Helmet) which is deliberately a reversal of one of Mag's alternate helmets, the Mag Gauss Helmet.
*A Mag is briefly shown in Livestream 17 along with Alad V.
*Mag's appearance is evocative of the host and character TOM, from the Cartoon Network anime block Toonami. Being a female, she is further evocative of a mix of him and SARA, TOM's companion AI.
