A model of magnetic phase transitions in plasmas is presented: plasma blobs with pressure excess or defect are magnetised and will move radially under the influence of the background plasma magnetisation. It is found that magnetic phase separation could be the underlying mechanism of L to H transitions and transport barrier formation. Magnetic phase separation and associated pedestal build up can be driven by the well known interchange mechanism, now reinterpreted as a magnetisation interchange which remains relevant even when stable or saturated. A testable necessary criterion for the L to H transition is presented.
