Magnetite, a heavy mineral, focuses energy in a downwards direction, solidifying through the channels as it passes through the energy system. 

Apart from the magical references, this mineral also has great use in healing. It may be used to assist in problems of the lower back, joints, and rectum. In addition, it has an effect of increasing the eye's focal ability.

The effects are more noticeable as it reaches the lower back and hips where it collects and then passes down around the back of the highs, circling the knees and ankles before grounding around the feet. Once there it sparks again sending a pseudo electrical current sharply up and out of the complete energy system. It's for this reason that the mineral has been used in magical practice for the purpose of grounding an intention. It's often used in conjunction with magnetite; which aids in the sparking process. This whole scenario is in line with the lightning strike mentioned in kabbalistic references and is akin to the raising and drawing process within Tantric yoga. On both the downward and upward movements of the energy, the channels around the hands and wrists are activated.
