Guys, your forgetting that as a einhejar, Magnus has increased strength, agility, speed, durability, and endurance.

If Nico summons an army of skeletons, he will get way too tired, but all Magnus have to do is compell them to drop their weapons and just swat them away like flies using his super strength. Nico will be trying to hold his breath and Magnus, even though a little winded from the disarming thing, will be able to have the strength to juice Nico brains with his bare hands.

If Nico is going to try to sink him in the Earth, Magnus will just break away using his super strength.

I'm sorry guys, but unless someone persuades me, I'm going for the Son of Frey. we might be underestimating magnus but you are also over estimating his strength, he does not have herculean strength, given what we have been shown, an einhejar is only fractionally stronger than a war demigod (by war i refer to Aesir type demigods, many greek gods are traditionally associated to battle and strength, like the Aesir) and his strength will be no factor in a fight against ANY big three children. In blood of Olympus nico defeated 6 Romans legionnaires in full armor while he was partially melting into shadows.

“Even in their armor, the Romans were starting to gain on Solace. Nico cursed and raced after them. He didn’t want to kill other demigods if he could avoid it. Fortunately, he didn’t need to. He tripped the Roman in the back and the others turned. Nico jumped into the crowd, kicking groins, smacking faces with the flat of his blade, bashing helmets with his pommel. In ten seconds, the Romans all lay groaning and dazed on the ground.”

Excerpt From: Rick Riordan. “The Blood of Olympus.”

Magnus doesn't even compare to that, specially without Jack to do the fighting for him. How are you going to say it's fraction of a war demigod, though? You know nothing about his strength level. Demigods are strong, but not even close as strong as ripping a lamppost from the ground. And dude, Nico took those Romans by suprise, so what you said was irrelevant. You KNOW that Nico would have never beaten those seasoned warriors in melee combat. And I'm saying that Magnus is "Herculean Strength", but it should be easy for him to swat the army away, since without the muscle, brain, etc the skeletons are pretty light

Shootingdragonnova: Yes, Magnus is dead, but Nico wouldn't be able to control him, since Magnus still has a mind of his own, and he radiates life.

NejiHyuga2: Nico did it in a desperate situation, and people will get more touchy about people they care about more than themselves. For what I've read when demigods start show more power than they should, it's usually for the sake of someone they care about. But this is different. Besides, I doubt Nico would take a this guy seriously at their first meeting, to feel so threatened. And Magnus radiates both life(Being a son of Frey) and death(being an einhijar), so would that even work on him?

Vishwa User: If it was a fight between life and death, then Magnus would win, since Nico's powers of death drains him more than it drains Magnus over his power of light.

Magnus wins 6/10
