Diamagnetic effects as heating and cooling mechanisms at stellar surfaces have been ignored in the past. This is due to the misconseption that the effect, when averaged over a velocity distribution, vanishes. We explore here the relevance of the effect to the observed luminosity and color modulations observed in CP stars.
