Nonoknights III

Links to the previous parts of the series are given after the rules.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 once in every row, column and 3x3 box.
Nonogram: The numbers outside the grid define a nonogram. Shade the cells in the grid so that the pattern of shaded cells matches the numbers given for each row and column. See the example of a solved nonogram below. A digit in a shaded cell must see the same digit a king’s move away at least once. All shaded cells are given; that is, a negative constraint applies.
Anti-Knight: Cells separated by a knight’s move in chess cannot contain the same digit.
Kropki dots: Cells separated by a black dot must have a 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are necessarily given.
Magic square: Somewhere in the grid lies a 3×3 magic square that contains all digits from 1 to 9 exactly once, and in which every row, column, and diagonal adds to the same total. It's up to the solver to determine the location of the magic square. (The magic square can occupy cells from different boxes.)

These keep getting better! Just like the "Colours in the Knight" series :). The magic square is always a fun way to finish.
