# Magnetic Lines

> A field of hundreds of tiny lines that orient toward your cursor like iron filings around a magnet. Each line blends between a gentle wind-wave idle animation and a magnetic pull toward the mouse — closer lines point more aggressively and glow brighter. When idle, a simulated cursor orbits slowly so the preview is always alive. Supports content overlay as children. Faded edges, configurable spacing, line color, force radius, wave speed. Zero external dependencies — pure canvas.
