Line 1:

The '''magic fist''' is an offensive ability used by [[Rayman]] in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', ''[[Rayman M]]''/''[[Rayman Arena|Arena]]''/''[[Rayman Rush|Rush]]'' and [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS)|the Nintendo DS version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']]. It replaced the [[telescopic fist]] that was used in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], and would then be replaced in favour of the telescopic fist in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' onwards.

A similar projectile attack would later feature as a temporary obtainable power-up in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', called the [[~~Blue~~ Punch]].

==In ''[[Rayman 2]]''==

The manuals for both ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' contain a short story detailing how [[Rayman]] came to be captured by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s shortly before the beginning of the game. According to this story, [[Rayman]] lost most of his powers, including the magic fist, when the [[Robo-Pirate]]s destroyed [[~~the~~ Heart of the World]]. This indicates that [[Rayman]] first received the magic fist at some point between the events of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and [[Rayman 1|the previous game]], and that he was already acquainted with the ability by the time he regained it at the beginning of ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

The magic fist is re-obtained at the beginning of the game, [[Globox]] gives [[Rayman]] a [[Silver Lum]] from [[Ly]] the Fairy, after which he can shoot a glowing magic power offensively from his hands. It is able to attack enemies, break doors reinforced by wooden-[[sparadrap]]s, activate [[switch]]es and be used to move [[plum]]s. It is thanks to this ability that [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] were able to escape the [[Robo-Pirate]]'s prison ship called the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', by ~~braking~~ a metal grate (wooden sparadrap in the PlayStation version) in his cell that links to an escape chute. The fist has a white colouration before it is upgraded.

Once [[Ly]] has been rescued in [[the Fairy Glade]], the magic fist can now be used to magically tether and swing onto [[Purple Lum]]s, in addition to its previous capabilities, [[Rayman]] also uses a similar method to shoot and tether to [[Ssssam]]'s scarf, who will then waterski [[Rayman]] across [[the Marshes of Awakening]]. During this time, the fist will now have a blue colouration, until the next and final upgrade is obtained.

Line 13:

[[Rayman]] will later encounter [[Globox]] in [[the Canopy]], who gives [[Rayman]] the ability to charge a magic fist before releasing it, potentially tripling the damage it can deal, unlike a charged [[telescopic fist]], [[Rayman]] will automatically release a charged magic fist after a certain amount of time, and will not keep it held indefinitely. After this upgrade is obtained, the magic fist will have a yellow colouration, and will remain in this colouration for the rest of the game.

[[Rayman]] can have an extra upgrade if he collects a [[Power Fist]], which lasts ~~for 3 hits~~, after which his fists will return white again. This puts the damage that [[Rayman]]'s fist can deal at its maximum. [[Rayman]] can collect them by finding them in a level, or by winning them in a [[Bonus level (Rayman 2)|bonus level]].

The magic fist can rebound off walls and barriers, this property can be used tactically against stationary enemies such as [[Barrel Pirate]]s.

===In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''===

At the beginning of the game, instead of giving the magic fist ability, ~~The~~ [[Silver Lum]] delivered by [[Globox]] restores a simple version of [[Rayman]]'s [[telescopic fist]], where he can merely punch in close-quarters, and not over large distances. [[Rayman]] then uses this [[telescopic fist]] to escape from the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', and continues to use it throughout [[the Woods of Light]], the first level of the game. At the end of the level, the [[Grand Minimus]] gives him another [[Silver Lum]] from [[Ly]]; this one grants [[Rayman]] the magic fist power, and he keeps it for the duration of the game.

~~Unlike~~ in the ~~main~~ ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]] ~~can obtain~~ the ~~ability to charge his fist via~~ the [[~~Magic Well~~]], the [[~~Silver~~ Lum]] ~~given~~ in [[the Canopy]] ~~merely upgrades~~ the ~~damage~~ the ~~base~~ magic fist ~~can deal instead~~. [[Rayman]] also ~~needs~~ to ~~obtain an upgrade before the magic fist can rebound~~ off walls, ~~but they can also be upgraded~~ further to rebound off enemies, ~~ensuring that~~ [[Rayman]] ~~can~~ attack groups of enemies more efficiently.

Like in the original ''[[Rayman 2]]'', [[Rayman]]'s magic fist is upgraded twice in the game by the [[Silver Lum]]s given by [[Ly]]. However, the one obtained in [[the Fairy Glade]] does not only provide him with the ability to grab onto [[Purple Lum]]s, but also increases its power threefold, and the one obtained in [[the Canopy]] does not give him the ability to charge his fist, only increasing its power threefold again.

In this game, the ability to charge [[Rayman]]'s magic fist is obtained in the [[Magic Well]] and called "Accumulation 1". It features a different animation than in the original ''[[Rayman 2]]'', with [[Rayman]] releasing the charged projectile in a gesture reminiscent of the Kamehameha attack from the ''Dragon Ball'' series. A further upgrade, "Accumulation 2", allows a charged shot to also damage all enemies in range. The other powers that can be bought in the [[Magic Well]] are "Rebound 1", which allows shots to bounce off walls, "Rebound 2", which upgrades them further to rebound off enemies, helping [[Rayman]] attack groups of enemies more efficiently, and "Rate of Fire", which enables [[Rayman]] to use both of his hands to shoot, effectively doubling his rate of fire.

==In ''[[Rayman M]]'', ''[[Rayman Arena]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''==

All characters possess the ability of the magic fist in the races, with the main function to trigger [[switch]]es and grab onto [[Purple Lum]]s.

In ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', it has the extra function of freezing an opponent when hit.
