Honestly, I'm going to have to go with Percy on this one. Magnus still has many books to be written about him, and many challenges to face before his powers truly manifest, but come on, guys-- it's ''Percy. ''The son of Poseidon who held his own against Kronos, and could have beaten him if Kronos didn't have the Curse of Achilles-- and I'm not talking about the strength part, I'm talking about the invulnerability part. He could have killed Kronos with that blow he struck in the Princess Andromeda during the Last Olympian, or on many other occasions. And I hate to say this, but Magnus couldn't have done anything he did in the Sword of Summer if not for the sword's ability to fight on its own. And because of this fact, I highly doubt that Magnus will be able to practice his swordplay. For example, what if, one day, the Sword is not in reach. What will he do? He has had close to zero practice so far with his einherji strength. Of course, I don't know for sure in what areas he develops in, as I haven't had the time to finish the Hammer of Thor, but from what I've read so far, I can see that he would have no chance against Percy in a fight of pure swordsmanship.

If it came to powers, I still move that Percy would come out victor. Magnus' powers that he inherited from Frey have not been put to use for as long as Percy's powers over the water have. Also, water and healing abilities are not powers that should be put against eachother. They have nothing in common. Put Thalia againts Percy, and I can understand that. Their powers are both harmful. But, Magnus against Percy wouldn't be fair in the least.
