Curse you and your electromagnetic strength...!

[green_dreams]

I need to weaken a magnet. Not make it completely useless, just muck about with it. Until it's perhaps half-strength or so.

I realize that you can occasionally accomplish this by whacking it, but brute force is my last choice at this point. Covering it with something is my second-last choice.

Alternate suggestions?

If I am to believe cartoons, heating a magnet causes it to lose its charge. It's up to you to google it to determine the truthfulness of the statement.

Maybe start boiling it and see where it gets you?
