Morphology
The phrase combines 'magnetic' (attractive/pulling) with 'energy' (force or vibe), so the intended sense — a charismatic presence that draws others — is a clear metaphorical extension of physical magnetism and thus inferable from the parts. However, the shift of 'energy' from literal power/electricity to 'personal vibe' requires a figurative mapping and some cultural knowledge, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words may not automatically derive the exact interpersonal meaning.
Etymology
Magnetic energy The phrase uses magnetic like a magnet and energy as a strong feeling, so imagine a person who pulls people toward them the same way a magnet pulls metal. That's why it means 'a strong, attractive presence that draws others'.
