If you have to write that kind of code for work you're probably out of luck, but if you're comfortable with FP and have some control over your stack I'd suggest the typelevel stack. I didn't know what the magnet pattern was until you just said so, and it seems like an awful idea relying on implicit abuse on the level of the cake pattern - something which has been discouraged for the last 4 years now. Implicits are great, and allow you to do some really amazing things, but you have to be careful not to abuse them or risk making your code take forever to compile and be impossible to debug.
