contents Scaling laws for turbulent thermomagnetic convection of a high-Pr fluid in a square cavity are obtained through direct numerical simulations and formulated via theoretical arguments informed by the numerical data. A regime consistent with an ultimate-like scaling $Nu \sim Ra_m^{1/2} and Re \sim Ra_m^{1/2} emerges after the laminar-to-turbulent transition and persists for more than an order of magnitude. Evidence is provided that this heretofore unseen behavior stems from the ability of the magnetic force to facilitate the ejection and advection of thermal plumes across the fluid bulk.
