I know that magnets have been suggested dozens of times before and rejected, however I have really thought this through and come up with a new way of looking at it.

This will need a new layer, the Field (B) layer that can be turned on and off like newtonian gravity, and two elements:

NPLE North pole, red in colour. SPLE South pole, white in colour.

HOWEVER

My suggestion differs, because these magnetic fields do not behave like gravitational fields.

1. Field Strength is a signed int, and field strength is measured relative to how strongly it is pointing up. A north pole is an imaginary bar magnet pointing vertically out of the screen with north on top, while the south pole is the same but with the south pole on top.
   
2. Both permenant magnets are solids
3. BRMT willl be attracted towards either pole.
4. Moving Charged Energy Particles are the only energy particles that can be influenced with a magnetic field. For example, using fleming's left hand rule on an electron beam in a strong 'up' field will make it turn to the left, but a proton under the same conditions will turn to the right.
   
5. All conductors except INWR and QRTZ will generate a field on either side of the current direction, relative to the conventional current direction (the way the SPRK came from) there is an up field on the left and a down field on the right. When several wires go in the same direction, the field at the edge multiplies.
6. Field induced is proportional to the speed with which SPRK moves through it
7. Plasma and gasses above 8500 degrees C will always be repulsed by a strong magnetic field in any direction.
8. Very Strong/concentrated Magnetic fields will repulse WATR, DSTW and SLTW; STKM and FIGH
9. Changing magnetic fields will induce a current in all conductors except QRTZ or INWR.

Uses:

• CRT televisions
• Destroyable fusion containment... finally
• Alternative to breakable GPMP
• Seperation machines
• Diamagnetism is cool (Floating stickmen!!!)
• Finer control than GPMP/ACEL/DCEL/REPL over energy particles
• Defence from PROT lasers

 That's why it's an option (like Newtonian Grav) that can be turned off.
