A zero-frequency magnetostatic mode is excited externally in a fully ionized, magnetized plasma. Space-time--resolved measurements of magnetic fluctuations indicate that the magnetostatic mode decays with a typical time scale characterizing electron-ion collisions in agreement with theoretical predictions.
