evem though the databooks do not mention it. the gaara hidden novel says he inherited magnet release from his father. but like others have said. magnet release wouldn't be what gave him control over his sand.

as for what magnetisim is

Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. Each atom has electrons, particles that carry electric charges.Spinning like tops, the electrons circle the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Their movement generates an electric current and causes each electron to act like a microscopic magnet.

In most substances, equal numbers of electrons spin in opposite directions, which cancels out their magnetism. That is why materials such as cloth or paper are said to be weakly magnetic. In substances such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, most of the electrons spin in the same direction. This makes the atoms in these substances strongly magnetic—but they are not yet magnets.

substances such as iron, cobalt, and nickel are all part of the earth. so here is what likely happens in Magnet Release. the shinobi grinds the earth and wind together, then vibrate them and spin them which then creates a magnetic field
