FYI, the electrons are "electromagnetic" in nature, not just 'magnetic'.

Their movement CREATES magnetic fields, but the particle itself is electrically CHARGED .
It is the lines of force alone causing the electrons to shift.
It's the MOVEMENT of the field (flux change) that induces current inside a conductor, IOW 'causing the electrons to shift".
The actual particles which traverse the lines are not being utilized.
I'm not sure what that sentence means to you. The actually "particles" of magnetic lines are 'photons'. The actually PARTICLES that are induced in solids are electrons. In plasma both types of particles are influence by "flux changes".
Magnets a quadpole systems - not di-pole. Magnetic force lines are 3d tornadoes in appearance. We just use the shell of the energy to nudge our electronic systems.
Electrons actually do flow through the system. It's more than magnetism, it's ELECTROmagnetism. The movement of the charged particle (electron or ion) will GENERATE a magnetic field. Likewise a changing magnetic field will cause a charged particle to change course. They are related phenomenon.
