History

Epitaph of Twilight

In the Epitaph of Twilight, a drop from the Wave touches the heavens, and creates a new Wave, by Magus's power.

Various encounters with Vagrant AI eventually lead Kite and BlackRose to the dungeon of Λ Pulsating Worst Core, where the mysterious Net Slum is said to exist. After a long trek through the dungeon the pair succeed in reaching the slum, where they are greeted by a strange host of Vagrant AIs. Helba soon appears to speak with them, but is interrupted by the arrival of Balmung and Lios. Lios tries to delete Kite, but is stopped when the system suddenly begins malfunctioning. He accuses Helba of interfering, but Helba calmly replies that she's not the one responsible; it's "Her" doing. A fierce wind blows through the Net Slum, destroying buildings and forcing Balmung, Lios, and Helba to flee. Magus then appears and begins to fight against Kite and BlackRose. An intense battle begins, but in the end Magus is defeated. However its destruction causes a great strain on The World, and spreads corrupted data throughout the entire game network, damaging every Field and Root Town in the game.

.hack//Another Birth

Magus's appearance in Another Birth is the same as in the Games. The party that fights Magus is Kite, BlackRose, and Mistral. The entire party is severely damaged by Magus's explosive leaves at first, but they adapt to the battle when Kite tells BlackRose to destroy the leaves while he attacks the body, and it is soon defeated.

.hack//XXXX

In XXXX, Kite runs into Elk while wandering around in a field filled with Aromatic Grass. Elk thinks that Kite has come for the Aromatic Grass, to try to steal Mia from him. Before Kite can explain that it's a misunderstanding, Magus suddenly appears. Kite's first instinct is to use the Bracelet, but he decides not to since he was just warned by Lios that using it damaged The World. Kite tries to tell Elk to run away, but when Elk sees Magus destroying the field and its Aromatic Grass, he tries desperately to fight it. When he realizes all his attacks are useless, Elk begins to panic. Magus prepares to Data Drain him but Balmung pulls him out of the way at the last moment. The worst effects of the Data Drain are avoided, but Elk is knocked unconscious. Balmung charges into battle, demonstrating the skill that made him known as one of The World's greatest players, but to no effect. Seeing Balmung about to share Orca's fate, Kite attacks Balmung, knocking him out of the way of Magus's attack. The next Data Drain is aimed at Kite, but Cubia drops in the way, launching his own counterattack which destroys Magus.

-In End of The World, Magus is mentioned as the first Phase retrieved by the Salvage Project created by [[Jyotaro Amagi]] and [[Jun Bansyoya]]. Following the disastrous test of the [[Epitaph User]] program, Magus was the only Phase that was able to be captured and sealed by [[CC Corp]] before it could escape into the system.

-Magus is the [[Avatar (Phases)|Avatar]] controlled by [[Kuhn]], who always refers to it as "My Magus". Magus is the first Avatar encountered by [[Haseo]] after Kuhn uses it to save Haseo and [[Atoli]] from an "[[Anna]]"-type [[AIDA]]. Haseo soon learns how to control his own Avatar, but when he begins using it recklessly in the [[Arena]], Kuhn realizes he has to teach Haseo a lesson. He uses Magus to fight against Haseo's [[Skeith]] in an arena match. As Kuhn suspected, Haseo loses control of Skeith who rips Magus into pieces. Luckily Kuhn had prepared for this and used his special "Propagation" ability ahead of time, which gives him the power to duplicate data such as his Avatar. Though the Magus that Skeith had destroyed had only been a clone, Haseo learned how dangerous Avatars could really be, learning the lesson Kuhn had wanted to teach him.
-Later, after [[Atoli]] is attacked by [[AIDA]] Kuhn uses Magus to drive it away and carry Atoli to safety.

-After [[Haseo]] is attacked by an [[AIDA]]-controlled [[Bordeaux]], [[Kuhn]] appears and summons Avatar Magus to cleanse the AIDA from her [[PC]]. He tells Haseo that he controls Magus because he is an [[Epitaph User]]. Haseo realizes that he has a similar Epitaph inside of his character and swears to unlock it.
