Rasa didn't have them while not using Magnet release and did have them when he was using it? He didn't have them when he used the Third Eye technique, so it's clearly not a matter of him simply having them when he uses Ninjutsu. And don't give me that whole correlation does not equal causation thing, this is a fictitious environment built by Kishi, correlation equals causation all the bloody time in fiction.

Also, what about Naruto's Jiton Rasenshuriken, that basically proves that Shukaku has Magnet Release. So Shukaku has it, The Fourth Kazekage has it, and then, rather than turn his first or second child into the host, he picks Gaara who is noted as 'Compatible' with Shukaku, neither Temari or Kankuro show those black marks when using their techniques, but Rasa does when using magnet release and Gaara does all the time which is exxactly how often his Sand shield is active.

Then, when Shukaku was removed, Gaara doesn't lose the ability seemingly attributed solely to it, but maintains both his eye markings and sand control. There is absolutely damning evidence that Gaara possesses Magnet Release, but people just keep coming back with "Manga and Databook don't say it, mustn't be true" despite the same data book not counting Sasuke as a Yin release user, or Naruto as a Yang release user despite that being two of their key traits.
