A microwave oven MAINLY heats hydrogen atoms, thus it warms water.
A dry paper plate is less affected than most food,
but beware of a wet plate.

Will a paper clip placed inside a microwave cause damage if the microwave is switched on?
A typical paper clip will cause a small "short" in the microwave energy inside the oven, but likely will cause no harm. Metal of any sort can become hot because of the RF currents that will travel through it and possibly cause a fire if there are flamable items in contact with it.
Can you melt a eraser in a microwave?
According to my experiment to try to melt a eraser in a microwave oven, it failed. I put the eraser on a paper plate into the microwave and set it for five minutes. Unfortunately it failed by only getting warm. It may be a good idea to try it for longer, but it will most likely not melt because there is no radioactivity. With that the microwave allows the eraser bits to melt. But without it, heating an eraser is no good.
