Okay. I will sum this up with a simple question. Would Magneto have an easier or harder time defeating Strange if there was no metal in his hands? Based on your initial response to this thread, I imagine your answer would be harder. And if your answer is harder, then I fail to see how you cannot consider him targeting Strange's hands as weakness exploitation. So, guess we will have to agree to disagree on that.
But answer me this. What feats does his forcefield have to suggest it's invulnerable?

So you’re proof is a scene of a guy not even aware of someone setting him up or actively engaging him in a fight with no powers. Strange has the cape cover his face right away.
Aye, Stainless steel. Not the best magnetic material.
Furthermore, prosthetic surgeries like the one Dr. Strange had uses Stainless Steel 316 or Austenitic Stainless Steel, which isn't a magnetic material/metal.
They kind of phucked that up in the films. Because, based on all the films before X-Men Apocalypse, it was just control of all metals. Callisto even described it as such in X3, when Mags and Pyro go on a Brotherhood recruiting drive:
“That and more, I know that you control metal, and I know there are eighty-seven mutants in here and none above a Class Three, other than you two.”
But in X-Men Apocalypse, it was very clearly manipulation of magnetic fields.

Hm. Well either way, very powerful magnets can still effect 316 stainless steel. Since magneto was effecting metals all over the world, I'm sure he's strong enough to trigger the paramagnetic properties in the pins in strange's hands.
If that doesn't work, he still wears that broken watch, right?
Interestingly enough, based on the dialogue in this scene, Apocalypse doesn't actually necessarily amp Magneto. More like helps him get over a mental block to his full potential.
The movie wasn't great as a whole, but I thought this scene was pretty good.

Before X-Men: Apocalypse, I would have agreed. But they specifically mention him screwing with magnetic fields at the end of the film, IIRC, when they mention that he was going to destroy everything built since the Bronze Age. Plus, look at the pattern at 1:55 odd in the clip I posted. That's magnetism.
Maybe he can control both metal and magnetic fields? I really don't know at this point.

I was just going to ask for that second clip. Thanks.
In that first clip it could be argued that those lines were just a result of the metal moving but that second clip does kinda spell out "magnetism"
I'm not sure if it's solely magnetism or if it's a combination. I'd like to think it's both but I dunno off hand if he has manipulated anything non magnetic
