The application of density functional theory to heavy elements and magnetic materials requires the generalization of existing functionals to the case of noncollinear spins. This letter describes a new idea to achieve such a generalization which, unlike previous efforts in this direction, (i) affords a nonvanishing local magnetic torque, (ii) is invariant with respect to spin-rotations, (iii) is free from numerical instabilities in regions of small magnetization, and (iv) reduces to the proper collinear limit.
