"Not all metals are magnetics, sure none of the real world non-magnetic metals are usually strong enough to be relied upon for such applications"

I get the feeling Ruby would have mentioned that when she was gushing about Cresent Rose to Juane, or if she saw any other special /non metal weapon. Also, many non magnetic metal kinda suck as wepons (as you said). Gold for example is very non magnetic, it also is a terrible thing to make anything other than jewelry and plating, or things you want to look shiny. Tungsten, which is obscenely hard (and HEAVY), is brittle.

"but Monty isn't exactly against inventing minerals. "

I wouldn't put it past him, but I'd expect he'd have some character talk about it/ gloat about their weapon being made/partially of it.

"Pyrrha's magnetism seems to require a large amount of focus and effort, she's yet to use it in combat save for when that was ALL she was using."

She seemed uninhibited during the Deathstalker fight when she effortlessly got her sheild back.

"Her magnetism seems to be further limited by mass."

Didn't Ruby and Jean already discuss the fact his sheild would still be heavy (have a lot fo mass) even in scabbard form? That kinda debunks that theory.

"We've only ever seen her influence a single weapon at a time."

Whatever her enemy is weilding is still one weapon (albeit against someone like Penny that woudl get way more complicated).

"We also do not know the extent of how long she can control said object, the range of her semblance or the "strength" behind it."

true, btu the unkown kinda works both ways. Also, one VERY hard jerk in the air or down to the ground would suffice agaisnt anyone not using some form of superstrength.

"it may be useless when it comes to heavier weapons such as Magnhlid or Crescent Rose."

Magnhild, maybe, but that's because Nora is super strong. Cresent Rose was designed to be very lightweight, so it's probably more susceptable. (presuming it's not some odd alloy combonation or a new non-magnetic metal that isn't too delicate to handle "Customizable Long Range Sniper Rifle" recoil. Which big enough to launch a human (albeit a petite one) several dozen feet/ yards at a shot without heavy grounding.
