Mostly concerning 4th evolution mags introduced in Episode 2 for starters...
And it seems mags casting reverser was disabled in Blue Burst.
We have three types of those:
The several that cast shifta/deband at PB full and entering a boss room (And they have a positive bonus in both those likelyhoods of casting). And at 1/10 life they may cast resta. Unfortunately this mag buff casting is definitely weaker than the M&Y twins photon blast and I think it's also weaker than what players can cast, unless they're a droid or humar lacking buff techs.
Then there's Sato the cat and Nidra the scorpion that may cast invincibility in all three of those situations. Sato is more popular but Nidra is actually better. Sato has a negative bonus to casting invinci at 100% PB full where I think chances are actually better with a low syncro while that conflicts with casting in the other situations where it has no bonus. Meanwhile Nidra simply has a positive bonus to casting when entering a boss room. Also Bana is a simple 3rd evolution mag that casts invinci in these three cases, but has negative bonuses to both PB full and boss room. Check Spuz's Basic Mag information guide for info on rare mags with 3/4 invinci. Soniti is one but Nidra may be better having that one bonus. Relevant only in older PSO's Soniti has a negative bonus to reverser. Ribhava, Soma, Durga, Nandin, & Asparas are other 3rd evolution with seemingly better chances than Bana but lesser than Nidra. However, I don't know if they have any positive or negative bonuses to any situations.
Finally there's the oddball Bhima which seems very underrated. It has a positve bonus to casting buffs at PB full, a negative bonus to casting invinci entering a boss room, and no bonus to casting invinci at 10% Life.
I personally think Bhima is best for droids and Humars, while Nidra is best for everyone else. Of course there's actual rare mags that are better though. Of course there's always preference of what mag you just want regardless of its castings. And then I almost always make my mags with the blasts Estlla, M&Y twins, Pilla. My 15/0/0/185 mag has Golla instead of Pilla since Pilla was not possible with those stats. Is Golla potentionally the most single damaging blast though it only hits one target? Meanwhile Estlla seems similar while hitting multiple targets, though probably not for as much damage on a single one.
So with Estlla/M&Y/Pilla on a Bhima, I think droids and Humars will get plenty of buffs with the option of using the M&Y super buff. You at least have some chance of invinci entering a boss room. And invinci at 1/10 life instead of resta (though maybe less likely?) may really come in handy and saves droids some good mate usage during a long boss fight.
For anyone that can cast buffs, Nidra or rare mags will give invinci most often and you can cast your own better buffs or use the M&Y super buff blast.
I have no idea why someone would make a Mind Rati or any of the buffing mags with a lot of mind for forces, other than aethetics. Except I think I read a mind mag actually servers a purpose for a droid with a Heaven Punisher and boosts its special regardless of the droids themselves having 0 MST/TP.
