ELI5: If a metal like iron were to be superheated to a gaseous state what would happen if a magnet was held up to it?

I know it's not realistic. But what would happen? Would it all be attracted, would there be some polarization that screws it up?

Ferromagnetic materials like steel or whatever lose their magnetism at its curie point or curie temperature. They all have a different temperature at which you wouldn't be able to magnetize the metal anymore.

Its also worth noting that we currently don't know how magnetism works. We can see its effects, we can manipulate it and we have theories on how it functions but officially "fucking magnets, how do they work?"
