I'm trying to say that Gaara uses Magnet Release to control sand. Seelentau wrote: What I meant is that magnetite sand (or black sand) is called satetsu in Japanese. Iron Sand in Japanese is "satetsu (砂鉄)", while Magnetite in Japanese is "jitekko (磁鉄鉱)", and Black Sand in Japanese is "kurosuna (黒砂)". Iron Sand is more than powdered Magnetite, it contains other minerals too. Black Sand doesn't have to contain Magnetite, it could also contain Basalt, which is also magnetic. Plus, if they are the same thing, why do they have separate pages on Wikipedia?

I'm not saying that I want him to have it, I don't even care if he has it or not, I'm just saying that it makes sense.
