sometimes, in addition:

You pick up one of the smaller items as skitters across the floor toward the magnet.

or

or

You got an item: hammer

or

You got an item: hedge slammer

or

You got an item: mangled data plate

or

You got an item: metal-rimmed frisbee

or

You got an item: pocket laser

or, less frequently:

You hurl the magnetar at the <foe>. A moving magnetic field produces an electric field, and this is a very powerful magnet, and it's moving very fast. Within moments the air is filled with electricity, some of which shocks your opponent for X damage.

Some of the electricity in the air rubs off on you, too. Not enough to hurt, just enough to add a little sparkle, if you will, to your perspective. You gain an effect: Electric with Excitement. (Added for 35 minutes.)
