Talk:Pyrrha Nikos vs Agent Carolina/@comment-26952487-20151102213731/@comment-28787288-20160624023531

I wonder if Pyrrha's semblance is purely magnetism. She controlled the soft drink cans after she touched them, and such cans are usually (nowadays, anyway) aluminum. She gained control of Mercury's one foot after touching it - she had no reason to know that he had metal legs, but she touched the foot with the idea of controlling it. I didn't see her touch Penny's swords, so I presume she was able to repel those purely from magnetism. Of course, if it is purely magnetism, and the cans were steel, then why did she need to touch them first. And why could she only control Mercury's feet after she touched them?
