They used to be online on one large text page at the Magma website,
but now they have been reformatted into html and split up into
individual pages. See
http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/htmlhelp/rel/rel.htm
and

I need to poke around - maybe I will find something still in pure test

Well, a better introduction what Sage is could be more useful. I would
have a loot at the various software announcements at lwn.net and then
pick one where you instantly would be curious because that maybe half
page blurb just explained very well what $FOO is all about. What we
currently have is such an attempt, but I am sure it can be improved
