Here’s an interesting quote by Victor Morgan that explains quite well the magnetic man:
“The superior man is a force at rest. There are no insignificant or purposeless words in him, nor useless movements. He is a power sure of itself that never manifests without reason, because he knows that at the first call he will fall suddenly, like lightning upon the point where he must act. The hero is a lion lying down who, with a quiet and serene gaze, contemplates beyond men the burning, infinite horizons.
Even in this stillness his presence is beneficial. From his simplest words radiates a light that acts upon those around him. A pleasant, comforting joy spreads around him. Yet he is a man of action. In truth, there will be few moments when you can surprise him in repose. The mastery of his will is the dominant trait that consecrates him as a great man. His self floats in an Olympic calm; he directs all his passions, ignites them or disciplines them. He has become the arbiter of himself; he has conquered the right and the power to reign in the external world and bend it to his will. He transforms his feelings into action.
And in a man like this, in whom you sense a soul so ardent and poetic, a Will so firm, so eager to give form to the dreams of the poet, do you think his smallest actions could disagree with his feelings? That is impossible. His voice, his gestures, his bearing, his gaze must express a little of the fire that burns within him.
His voice reveals every emotion he wishes to express: gentle and penetrating when he wishes to soothe and comfort; fervent and enthusiastic when he wishes to awaken and encourage; grave, deep, solemn when he intends to impress; thunderous and commanding when he intends to give orders. With unshakable calm amid the storm of great collective upheavals, when other men are frantic and afraid, the voice of the master continues to be heard, and each word is a force.
He is master of his body.
His entire being emits an invisible and powerful radiance that imposes itself even on the least sensitive. One senses, even before he acts, that he possesses limitless confidence in his own strength. And despite this boundless confidence he resembles in no way the angel of pride.
Finally, his heart is all powerful.
He loves, he understands, and because he understands he is just toward men. Having looked into the depths of his own heart and recognized that evil is often no more than ignorance, a deep feeling of compassion awakens in him. When it becomes necessary to act, to punish, to rebuke, his heart holds no resentment.
His mental faculties are powerful.
Above all they possess the ability to judge soundly the relations between things. What truly makes him great is that within him are joined the idealist and the man of action. Here is the portrait of the man we wish to form in you.”
