There really isn't any "Amber recommended" parameter set for magnesium,
although we are working on it.

You can try this:

Go to $AMBERHOME/dat/leap/lib, and edit ions08.cmd
Change the line
    i = createAtom Mg+ Mg+ 2.0
to
    i = createAtom Mg+ MG 2.0

The type "tleap -f ions08.cmd"

This will change the atom type of magnesium from "Mg+" to "MG", which should
be recognized by both parm99.dat and parm10.dat, giving you a rather old
parameter set by Aqvist:

  MG 0.7926 0.8947 Mg2+ Aqvist JPC 1990,94,8021.(adapted)

Use this with care. If you are a following a literature protocol, you might
check on what magnesium parameters were used there.
