Take Pyrrha. How does her polarity actually function? Does it generate a massively powerful field, lifting object by brute force? Does it add virtual moving charge to objects, or change their permeability, in conjunction with a weaker field? Does it generate a field from the object and add charge to her, so the object pulls and pushes on her, rather than the reverse (being equivalent due to the Third Law)? Does she do similar things to the air molecules in a shell around the object, so that her semblance can't function in a vacuum? Does she simply decrease the temperature until they superconduct? Can he affect the orientation of atomic magnetic moments? Does she make the thing a room temperature superconductor?

Or any number of other things. Magnetism is difficult to wrap one's head around at the best of times, and I'm hardly a specialist.
