As Magnus's powers are rather nebulous within the context of the series, I will try and sum them up as best as I can.
✪ Immortality: As a warlock and half-demon, Magnus is immortal and will not physically age any further than he has already. He is also immune to diseases that affect humans. However, he can be killed via murder or accidental death. This will obviously be nerfed. ✪ Demon Mark: Basically, some animal-type attribute that signifies that warlocks are inhuman. His are a pair of golden cat eyes that are usually hidden with a glamour spell. ✪ Leylines & General Spell-casting: Warlocks get the energy for their magic from leylines that run everywhere throughout the ground. They are also able to create and perform spells at will, which vary in great number. ✪ Glamour: Illusory magic used to cover up and hide anything that may freak ordinary people out. ✪ Portaling: Magnus co-developed the magic for creating portals so he's quite adept at using portals to transport himself around so long as he knows where he's going. There is a stipulation that no one can enter a portal without knowing their destination, otherwise they will end up lost in limbo forever. This will be nerfed to him only being able to portal a certain distance within the confines of the game's map. ✪ Telekinesis & Conjuring: He can move things without requiring physical contact and transport them from one physical space to another, and he can make most ordinary objects appear out of thin air. It's unclear if there are any hard limits to this ability, as he can conjure up entire meals and change his apartment's interior decoration at will. This will be nerved into only being able to conjure up small, very simple items. ✪ Demon Summoning & Pentagrams: Warlocks can summon demons from Hell/Edom with the usual risks that demons can escape and run amuck on Earth if they aren't careful. Warlocks can also use pentagrams to transport themselves to Hell/Edom. This will be nerfed so he can't summon anything. ✪ Potion-making: All warlocks are masters at creating potions out of natural herbs and supernatural items. The effects can include anything from love potions to sleep aides and curatives. ✪ Healing: He can use his magic to heal basic wounds and ailments, but there are extents to how much he can heal or keep someone stable, as his magic isn't infinite. ✪ Raising the Dead: This is technically not impossible, but there are always dire consequences (what those consequences are is never really clearly defined). As a rule, he does not perform any resurrections at all. This will obviously be nerfed. ✪ Magical Analysis: He can use his magic to sense abnormalities or supernatural interference. ✪ Warding: He's capable of creating strong wards that lock demons, humans, or other supernatural entities out of certain areas. ✪ Canceling Magic: Magnus can undo or block certain spells. ✪ Memory Erasing: He's able to selectively erase any memories, including his own. ✪ Mind Link or Transference: He can use his magic to give access to someone's mind, but this requires a strong bond (like a parabatai bond) to perform. ✪ Mind-reading: He can look into people's mind and their memories but would never do so without their consent. ✪ Combat: Magnus is fairly adept at hand-to-hand combat and martial arts and can wield some weapons competently.
...I think I got everything.
PERSONALITY:
Outwardly, Magnus has a very vivacious demeanor, responding to most situations with his cutting wit and good sense of humor. He's an extrovert who likes to laugh, drink, and flirt whenever he can, guided by the kind of vibrancy and lack of shits to give one obtains after being alive way too long. While he does show himself to have a lot of inner depth and deep-seated trauma, it's cleverly buried under his smiles and his outgoing –sometimes overbearing– nature. The chinks in his armor do grow as the series progresses, but he manages to maintain a lot of his effervescence even after quite literally going to Hell and back because he likes to revel in the joys and pleasures of life rather than to dwell in its miseries.
At the onset of his first appearance, Magnus did try to cultivate a certain aloof and devil-may-care perception of himself by making it seem as though he was just performing services and favors for a price, as any warlock is wont to do, but deep down inside, he exuded a lot of care and investment when it came to helping others, even at his own expense. This was best illustrated when he stepped in to defend Alec's sister, Isabelle, while she'd been on trial by the Clave. Rather than charging Alec his original asking price of Alec's bow, he ended up rescinding the request simply because he recognized how much it meant to Alec to keep his sister safe. As the series goes on, Magnus continues his never-ending string of generosity by portaling Shadowhunters and Downworlder friends around when they ask, regularly taking in and taking care of young Downworlders, dishing out heals to the wounded, and had even once given up all his magic and immortality just to save Alec's adopted brother, Jace. There's very little he won't do if it means protecting the people closest to him and righting any perceived wrongs.
Confidence also oozes out of his every pore, as Magnus has gained a strong sense of self over his years of living. It helps that he's an exceptionally powerful warlock due to his bloodline as the son of a prince of Hell, giving him a rightful amount of acclaim among the Downworlder community. It's also what got him a leadership position as the High Warlock of Brooklyn. He doesn't doubt himself often nor does he do so openly, preferring to stand his ground. Unfortunately, it's that same level of confidence that makes Magnus all too unyielding even when he is very much in the wrong. He doesn't like to admit that he is capable of making mistakes, and he can also hold grudges too long, such as when he'd thrown his allegiance behind the Seelie Queen at the end of Season 2 even after she'd proven herself many times to be untrustworthy and full of ulterior motives. It wasn't until Alec had practically begged for his aid that he allowed himself to let go of his stubbornness and realize that supporting someone who was homicidal towards her own kind was probably a bad idea.
Overcoming his own pride is something Magnus gradually learns to do as the series progresses, though it isn't easy. He's too invested in how others see him and keeping up his image as this flawless and unshakable warlock when he's really just a hot mess inside. He doesn't have the best self-image and is extremely conscious of how he's perceived to the point where he'd initially been afraid to show his demon mark to Alec because he didn't want Alec to think he was a monster. When he'd lost his powers in Season 3, he'd also been unwilling to accept anyone's help at first and had tried to bear the pain on his own until he'd inevitably self-destructed in every way imaginable. It had taken him a long time and nearly cost him his life to realize how much he was hurting others around him by internalizing so much of his grief, and he had learned to see past his centuries of pain and hurt to realize that he's beloved.
A major hinderance in his self-acceptance had come from the fact that he is often ruled by his fear and contempt of becoming anything like his father, who is notably devoid of any sympathy and regard for others. Instead, his father had been obsessed with being a king among demons and lording over them, as well as just generally being wicked and hedonistic. In his youth, when Magnus was at his lowest point and feeling alone and unwanted, he ended up joining his father and briefly ruling by his side as a prince of Hell, simply out of desire for companionship with his only living relative. During that time, Magnus claims he had surrendered to the worst of his impulses and had carried out vile acts for his father. It's a time he views with deep sadness and regret, hating even talking about it, as he doesn't want to be associated with someone he views as absolutely monstrous. Unfortunately, in spite of what good he is capable of and all the acts of kindness Magnus has committed since then, he still sees some of his father in himself and is filled with deep self-loathing that he's dressed up for years with smiles and flamboyance. This is further compounded by the memory of having set his step-father on fire for blaming Magnus's mother's suicide on Magnus as a child, so he knows very well what he's capable of when angered and tries to run away from it rather than confront his issues.
However, even with his many lapses in judgment and all his shortcomings, Magnus is, at heart, old, gentle, and wise. Surprisingly. He is full of esoteric knowledge about all sorts of arcane subjects and carries with him an intellect that supersedes that of most other beings. That isn't to say he knows everything, but he's definitely knowledgeable in a great many of things that make him a good source of advice and information, and he can be more level-headed, introspective, and even-tempered than most.
He's also incredibly amorous, treating his friends well and spoiling them. Of course, none hold a greater place in his heart than Alec, who has solidified his position as the love of Magnus' life just by being overbearingly sweet and caring to him in a way Magnus had never been exposed to in the past. Their relationship has changed him for the better, allowing him to open himself up and properly address his past trust issues and trauma, and by the end of the series, Magnus ends up becoming a lot warmer, softer, and less cynical than he used to be.
