I was on some sites yesterday, trying to learn more about magnetism when I came over ferroliquids. The person had pictures and said that it felt like oil when touched, but was diffrent for it was magnetic [obviously] and spiked up when interacting with a magnet. More or less the neodymium-iron-boron magnets. So why shouldn't oil be like a ferroliquid? I'd like to know.

Ferroliquids consist of tiny particles of magnetic material suspended in liquid. If the base liquid is an oil, the fluid will be oily. There are also water-based ferroliquids that are not oily. It's the magnetic particles that make it magnetic, the consistency of the liquid is incidental.

A candle is an amorphous solid. Not all amorphous solids are candles.
