There may be a leakage some where and doesn't transfer the reguired liguid pressure. Propably dissmantling your lever and see what has broken, is the way to go.

Here's the pics - hope they help / make sense!
Bleed as "normal" for Magura (from bottom up with a syringe) but follow the steps below, you'll be good to go. No more issues.
Note that the tarnsfer port is shut off when the lever is pulled, so there is no pressure on the EBT screw - this is why it needs VERY little torque, just enough to keep it in place under it's own weight. It does NOT provide any sealing under pressure.

I bet you blew the piston seal.

as far as air in system... magura often needs mini bleed after mini bleeds sometimes
but once you finally get that last bubble out, awesome brakes

Magura MT5 slow leak in master due to slammin tree
just a picture of my main brake lever piston seal that was slow leaking and I needed to pump brakes for any sustained braking... I had nailed a tree Oh I don't even remember when, but lever was rotated on bars a bit and I set it back and continued riding. Months later I felt my brake lever...
