polarization
A special property of light; light has three properties, brightness, color and polarization. Polarization is a condition in which the planes of vibration of the various rays in a light beam are at least partially aligned.
Apart from that, ions can create light, and light can create magnetic fields. If we are trying to return to the "light" I imagine the magnetic fields that form matter are created by that light.
You can store energy in a magnetic field. Same as a human, we are like a capacitor while the only thing that holds us together is the magnetic field. If you think increasing magnetic polarity is the key to Ra's polarizing, it will also involve moving yourself closer to the core of the planet. Not exactly what most are aiming for.

Wait, that wouldn't be ions and electrons for electricity would it?Quote:Ferromagnetism manifests itself in the fact that a small externally imposed magnetic field, say from a solenoid, can cause the magnetic domains to line up with each other and the material is said to be magnetized.
Ferromagnets will tend to stay magnetized to some extent after being subjected to an external magnetic field. This tendency to "remember their magnetic history" is called hysteresis.
Here's a good 15-page textbook summary for the more serious student.
