Glass-like arrest has recently been reported in various magnetic materials. As in structural glasses, the kinetics of a first-order transformation is arrested while retaining the higher-entropy phase as a non-ergodic state. We show visual mesoscopic evidence of the irreversible devitrification of the arrested antiferromagnetic-insulating phase in $Pr_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}Mn_{0.975}Al_{0.025}O_3$ to its equilibrium ferromagnetic-metallic phase with isothermal increase of magnetic field, similar to its iso-field devitrification on warming. The slope of $T_g$ vs magnetic field in half-doped manganites is shown to have a sign governed by Le Chatelier's Principle.
