| − | A common tool used by field agents with [[Enhanced Prosthetic]]s '''Electromagnet''' enhancements could be applied to the artificial hands and feet to scale metal surfaces without climbing gear, or even hang upside-down on a metal overhang without fear of falling. This required either both hands or both feet to be modified. The magnets were also powerful enough to allow an agent to pull metal objects up to 5 kilograms in weight towards themselves.<ref name=AGCO>''A Guide to Covert Ops'', p. 111</ref>

| − | As with other prosthetic enhancements these were employed only by the intelligence agencies of the [[Inner Sphere]] with agents who already had a Type 3 or superior prosthetic hand and/or foot. The [[Clans]] were too philosophically opposed and the [[Periphery]] too poor to make use of them beyond rare cases.<ref>''A Guide to Covert Ops'', p. 109</ref> Among the [[Manei Domini]] this upgrade was available to all agents with the necessary prosthetic limb and were even more powerful, allowing an object 15kg in weight to be pulled towards the agent.<ref name=JHS>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 124-125, 130</ref>
