Does a permanent magnet loose its magnetism? The question is slightly deceiving however still simple for those academics therefore, here I present my question:
If I take a para-magnetic material and put it very close to a homogeneous magnetic field, the para magnetic material will start to accelerate towards the magnetic body thus it has kinetic energy (but I ensure it does not hit the magnet and stop it with my fingers) so does the magnetic field or body loose it magnetism or will the same magnetism stay? Because in Wikipedia, it says:

Energy is needed to generate a magnetic field both to work against the
  electric field that a changing magnetic field creates and to change
  the magnetization of any material within the magnetic field

However I'm sure that para-magnetic materials are not magnetized, so where is this energy coming from? Or is my understanding wrong if so can someone link me to a good website which uses mathematics and theory to show how para magnetic material works?
Thanks!
 A: A paramagnetic material is something that has a magnetic field even without the presence of an external field, but the external net effect is roughly zero.  The internal atoms or molecules of the substance have magnetic diopoles meaning the substance itself is made up of billions of tiny magnets.  The thing with paramagnetic materials is these dipoles are not lined up so their fields are oriented randomly making their overall field cancel out.
When an external field is applied, these internal dipoles suddenly align with the external field and create a net magnetic moment in the direction of the applied field.  Whether you let the materials touch or hold them apart it doesn't change the energy of the magnetism which is built into the structure of the substance.
Note the illustration of the magnetic moments of the atoms or molecules in the structure of this paramagnetic material:

Before the field is applied they are pointing randomly so there is no natural net magnetic field.  Then the external field is added and they rotate to line up.  When it is removed the field returns to zero (in a pure para-magnetic material).  In some materials the atoms or molecules will self-align and remain magnetic after the field is removed resulting in ferromagnetism (permanent magnets) or antiferromagnetism.
If you want to dig even deeper the concept of the magnetic dipole is related to the more fundamental quantum mechanics of electron spin and angular momentum (EDM or electron dipole moment).
A: In a homogeneous field, the paramagnetic material does not move - why should it?
An acceleration towards permanent magnets just happens as their field is not homogeneous. You (partially) align the magnets in the paramagnetic material with the magnetic field and bring them closer together, this releases energy.
If you want to separate the objects again, you have to put in energy.
However I'm sure that para-magnetic materials are not magnetized
They get magnetized by your permanent magnet.
