Thank you! Hopefully my pull example will lead me to the answer I need instead.

(1) How do you mean "they don't work that way"? Do you mean that the strength of the magnetic force wouldn't change how much push/pull it has at longer distances? (2) I'm just interpreting it as magnetism because it seems like the most relative real world force, and it only affects metals...

Magic systems that allow you manipulate certain natural forces, and although they are manipulating them, is still very much a cause and affect in a scientific way. For example, people can't fly, but can instead adjust how gravity affects themselves. There are swords in this world that can cut...

It's called Mistborn. And thank you. I wasn't sure since I was referring to a magical book, but at the same time asking a science question about it.

TL;DR Summary: Determine a newton force equivalent at the base of the magnet to suspend an object in the air with magnetism In a fantasy book series I enjoy reading, one of the powers the characters have is very similar to magnetism. They are able to pull and push metal objects to/away from...

Hello! I joined because I am interested in how physics would intertwine with science based magical systems in books. I'm looking forward to learning a lot of new things and seeing how they would work with each other.
