    The evolution of a magnetization director field \(m\) is given by the so-called Gilbert equation, which -- after re-scaling and introducing an additional dry-friction like term -- leads to an inclusion of the form \(\partial_{0}m\in m\times\left(\Delta m-\psi^{\prime}\left(m\right)+h-\partial\mathcal{R}\left(\partial_{0}m\right)\right)\), where \(h\), \(\psi:\mathbb{R}^{3}\to\mathbb{R}\) are suitably prescribed and \(\partial\mathcal{R}\) is the subdifferential of a certain convex function \(\mathcal{R}:\mathbb{R}^{3}\to\mathbb{R}\). Existence of a weak solution to an associated initial-boundary-value problem is shown. By a time-scaling technique it is shown that a slowly varying director field \(m\) leads to viscous dissipation and gyromagnetic effects becoming asymptotically negligible.
