When oversouled with his ghost Magna gains the power to fly with wings on his arms and tailfeathers on the back of his hips, and strike from almost anywhere with the claws on manifested on the side of his hips. However, the claws are only meant to grab and crush, not to scratch. It would seem his medium is a set of owl feathers that he wears aroun his neck.

Shaman Fight First Round
Manga was the one who did the qualification for the Hao's Hana-Gumi team. He also officiated many matches in the first rounds.

Shaman Fights Second Round
Manga were there when Team "Hana-Gumi" were defeated by Asakura Mikihisa. Magna stops them from attacking and says that the team is still useful, thus making them leave. He is later seen stoping Nichrome from attacking Asakura Yoh, who had recently defeated some of Hao's followers who had savagely beaten up Horohoro and Chocolove McDonell and killed Tao Ren. They later report to Hao and he is fine by the Hana-gumi defeat since Hao is ready for something.

Invading the Plants
When Hao wins the Shaman fight Manga and the rest of the officiants follow Goldva into the plants for the crowning ceremony. Manga watches Sivla lose to Yoh and goes to his plant.

Yoh and company enter the volcano plant and face off against Magna. Magnascope attacks and they both oversoul. Magna crushes Jeanne's Iron Maiden but nothing is inside. Ren oversouls and strikes Magna with the full force of his lightning based attacks. However Magna uses the Patch song and readies himself to kill. Ren blocks or dodges everything Magna throws. Magna tries hiding in the volcanic smoke and striking but Ren disappears before he can make a clean hit. Ren reappears in the blink of and eye behind Magna and kills him with a massive lighting bolt attack he call "ElecBang, allowing Yoh and company to move on to the next plant.

Anime/Manga Difference
Due to the wast differences of the Second Round in the anime and in the manga, Magna is never shown in the anime. Instead is his role of supporting character to Nichrome replaced with, an anime only Patch, named Zinc.
