The magnetic field is so intense it stretchs an atomic nucleus into a sausage shape. At that intensity it is more like spaghetti with a 100 to one ratio between the height and width.

Magnetic fields also have an energy density . The spark plugs in your car are powered by the collaspe of a magnetic field.The energy density of this stars magnetic field is over 10000 times the energy density of lead. (If the lead were to meet it's antimatter twin and touch it would turn into pure energy). The Soviet Czar bomb, the largest atomic blast ever, at 50 megatons converted about a pound of matter into energy.

And to understand the amount of energy released, you only need to multiply about 1/2 kg of mass by the speed of light squared.
