That can be the main problem here. No one is giving a nice answer.
A nice Mechanistic would ask for a mechanic model that can explain magnet properties. Instead of that Magnetic phenomena are explain as a quasi magic force.
In 100+ posts there have been 'nice answers', 'easy answers', 'academic answers' and others. Unfortunately none has proved to be satisfactory.
In as far as it can't be explained without resorting to a force which cannot be seen then it could be looked upon as "quasi magic". There is not a 'mechanical' answer to the question any more than there is a 'mechanical' answer to why this table is solid. Why expect things to have answers that are easy and accurate at the same time?
