PSI Magnet Reference Guide
First of all, I want to thank @NinjaLink for painstakingly helping me test so many things. Something to keep in mind is that I didn't test any custom moves and none of the Mii fighters...yet. I'll go back and test these in a little while once I'm absolutely sure I've unlocked everything. I will be adding any stage hazards as well over time. Here's to making sure you Ness mains (and, those feeding Ness energy) know exactly what he's healing. EDIT: This guide has been so successful that it's reached out to the Smash 4 Ness community and we continue these updates together with our findings. Good job Nessers!
UPDATE 1.0 - Preliminary testing done with regular PSI Magnet on regular character moves/specials.
UPDATE 1.1 - Includes 3DS Stage Hazards. Only Corneria and Wily Fortress have energy based projectiles, and both stages (because of their hazards in general) will be banned competitively.
UPDATE 1.2 - Includes two newly found absorbable properties, items, and absorbable energy on Wii U stages. A thank you shoutout to @The 0ne for the good research.
UPDATE 1.3 - A ton of new absorbable information, including explosions, throws, and the Mii Fighters. A special thanks to the Ness community at large (Again, especially @The 0ne) for good research. Customs to come soon.
UPDATE 1.4 - Mewtwo has been added to the guide. Thank you again to The 0ne for the good work.
UPDATE 1.5 - Ryu, Lucas, and Roy have been added (Though, Roy has nothing to actually absorb). Shout out to @The_0ne for the heal %s and @blak dragon for the hurt %s.
NinjaLink and I have also noted that Ness' PSI Magnet has not changed (the multiplier to calculate his heal was not increased or decreased.) Therefore, patch 1.0.6 did not change Ness' Magnet's healing in any way. All information is up to date.
Notes:
- Tested with no staling.
- Tested on every projectile besides customs
- Generally heals by 1.6x the damage received (there seem to be a few exceptions)
- The healing amount caps at 30% health received
- These are single hits unless stated otherwise
- Because I keep getting asked this via PM...This is done with Ness' REGULAR PSI Magnet. No custom Magnet, but I'll try to do that later as well.

References*:
- Lucario was at 0% when these were tested and therefore his powered up aura didn't contribute.
- Pikachu's Thunder allowed Ness to suck up two Thunders where in the animation there was only one Thunder.
- Sheik's Vanish would only be absorbed in her "disappearance" animation
- Thank you to Fsann (Japanese Ness) for the Lloid info on Vine!
- Bob-ombs work the same way as Link or Toon Link's bombs, in that if the bomb is thrown at Ness he will absorb the whole thing.
- The reason some percentages seem so low (say, for Robin's Thoron) are probably due to Ness only absorbing the single hit of the move rather than the multiple hits. This is best seen with Ness sucking up Mega's Crash Bomb explosion.
- Ness now does what I like to call "Late Healing." In this new Smash, when Ness heals the energy swirls around him for a short period of time (approx. 1 second) and then he heals.

If anything looks wrong, or NinjaLink and I clearly made a mistake, please point it out. I want this info to be as accurate as possible. It was a lot of work but it will be very useful! I hope you guys like the info, and I'm sure you found some really interesting discoveries in this (you know, especially Ness sucking up Link and Toon Link's physical bombs).
