Because magnets can screw over both mechanical and electrical devices, it alters their properties and stop acting the way they normally act. There are some weapons that uses them? Well that explain Yatsuhashi, but if Coco tried that her purse could open out of order and blow up in her face as some of the magnets pull and push the pieces at different speeds. You had both a spinning dust chamber AND had a moving axe chamber.
