I have decided to write this guide of Mag Quirks to help with beginners to PSZ with mag building. I find myself having to explain how mag building works a lot to warrant a guide where I can just refer people to for future reference.
Mag Feeding:
Feed your mag the following to boost stats. There are more things you can feed the mag, however, I usually stick with feeding my mags the following:
Power=hunter weapons, HP mats, pow mats
Hit=ranger weapons, hit mats, swift mats
Guard=armor, slot units, guard mats
Mind=force weapons, mind mats, PP mats
I should note Chaosmaster figured out what stats increase with materials so credit goes to him there for that.

Mag Tiers:
You begin with a Tier 1 basic mag.
At level 10, the mag will evolve to Tier 2. The most dominant stat will determine its first form. You will receive a pre-determined mag nature.
At level 30, the mag will evolve again to Tier 3. If it has only one stat, then that will be its form. If it has more than one stat, then whatever the primary stat and the secondary stat will determine its form. A mag with pure stats will change right now if you put a point in elsewhere.
At level 60, the mag will evolve again to tier 4 mag. The mag can change every 10th level if you mess with the primary and secondary stats enough. You will receive an advanced nature. If the mag is still tier 3 at level 60, it will still receive an advanced mag nature.

If any two stats are the same, then the mag will not change forms when it's supposed to.
There are rare mag souls you can feed a mag and it will change form. The mag souls are mostly for aesthetic reasons.
Mag Photon Blasts:
I should note when your mag reaches level 10, it will have a Photon Blast and a gauge will start filling while on a run. You can control what photon blast you will receive when your mag reaches level 60 where the secondary stat determines the Photon Blast. If a mag has only one stat then the primary stat will determine the Photon Blast.
If Power meets the criteria above, you will receive Granir. It does direct damage and has a heaven element which may inflict instant death which mostly occurs on small enemies.
If Hit meets the critieria above, you will receive Pacifial. It does direct damage and will stun the enemies (doesn't work on bosses).
If Guard meets the criteria above, you will receive Midgul. It grants Shifta and Deband greater than a Force's Shifta 15 and Deband 15. It will debuff enemies too except most bosses are immune to Midgul's debuffs (it works on Humilias though).
If Mind meets the criteria above, you will receive Flozir. It grants unlimited PP. It also does other things which I'll explain a moment.
All Photon Blasts have a greater effect when two to four people add to the Photon Blast. Flozir works differently in this fashion:
2 people= Unlimited PP + Shorter charge time for Photon Arts/charged version of Techs
3 people= Above + All hits are critical hits
4 people= Above + Invincibility
4-way Flozir and Midgul are the most preferred in parties in online because they can destroy bosses very, very quick. Granir and Pacifal doesn't do much for damage on SH so most people avoid using them.
To use Photon Blast, when the gauge is fill, hit L +R and a circle will appear around your character and then let go to active. Your character will vanish for a moment and the PB animation will then play. You can continue holding L + R until other party members contribute. They can contribute by walking into the circle and hold L+R.
All Paru Mags will have a Photon Blast that cannot be changed.
