But by making it levitate, you could technically make things fly forwards and stop on a dime as evidenced by the bullet trains in Japan which use the same principle. So while you may not be able to pull off quite the same amount of fluidity, you could still send things flying in a certain direction with extreme force. This could then be used to bring something back to yourself, if the field is extendable, or make yourself fly around similar to how my Propulsion semblance worked.

I think in order to make this balanced, there would have to be a weight limit. Since the magnetic fields can affect things other than metal (again, as evidence by the spinning tops and floating frog) the power output it would have would be too great to allow someone to just pick up an Ursa and throw it around. A weight limit caps this, as well as stating that aura naturally combats this.

It could be a great defensive technique though; have it centred on yourself, and pushing everything away from you. Any weapons that come close automatically try to go the opposite way, and even if the user's strength can overcome the push, it still lessons the blow.
