Im realy curious to how a magnetic feild actually works on an atomic level, i dont want an explenation on what it is and what it does. I want a complete explenation to what is physically happening and why. Thanks

magnet attracts only ferrous materials ( iron)
in the magnet, the negatively charged ions are aligned on one of the pole and positively charged ions on the other pole.
there developed a magnetic lines of force from one of the pole to the other
so any ferrous metal that is near will be attracted to the magnet

To make an artificial magnet.
get a plastic comb
rug it in your hair or dress in one direction
get some small piece of paper size about half cm^2
place the artificial magnet to the paper
paper will cling to the comb

I'm sorry, you don't understand what physics is all about. To expand slightly on jon8pie's answer, the "complete explanation" of physical processes at the most elementary level consists of an inumeration of observable properties (what it is) and how they mediate interactions (what it does). There *is* nothing more to "what is physically happening" and there absolutely is no "why". Any attempt to do more will automatically earn you 10 points on the crackpot index (rule 17)

I think that magnetism is a 'pseudo' force. It is due to the transform of the electrical force between charges in relative motion ie currents.
