If the situation is unclear in the manga (Gaara's Magnet Release, for example), the databook is considered to be correct. So Shukaku's and Gaara's sand manipulation is just Earth Release, then? In that case, why is Third Eye listed as a Magnet Release technique?

Also, in regards to Gaara's sand, he soaked in in the blood of his victims, which he said increased his power over it, and blood has iron in it. I guess that was a red herring.
