Trivia
- Mag's given name is inspired from a shortened form of magnetism, used in a feminine fashion (see: Magdalene). Other possible inspirations include the concept of magnitude, a tribute to her affinity for dealing "in extremes".
- Mag replaced Volt as an initial choice of Warframe in Update 7, though Volt would later replace Loki as a starter Warframe choice in Update 14.0 (2014-07-18).
- The color of the energy of Mag's mask can be changed (effective as of Update 7.9 (2013-04-26)).
- Mag is the first female Warframe to possess a Prime variant.
- Both of Mag's alternate helmets are named after the Gauss projectile accelerator consisting of one or more coils used as linear electromagnets to accelerate a magnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity. Weapons using said mechanic are commonly referred to as either Gauss guns or Coilguns.
- A Mag is briefly shown in Livestream 17 along with Alad V.
