This puzzle was made for Scojo's weekly prompt. The prompt redeemed by juggler, and was to create a puzzle using an invented constraint as the only clue. There are some obvious similarities between this constraint and others, but I still hope it feels fresh and enjoyable!
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Magnets: A digit in a magnet cell (M) is the sum of all digits seen in the indicated direction up to the first cell seen that contains a digit larger than M.

That's pretty cool! Fun to place some of the numbers in order to stop the magnet from magneting any further.
