bespell
Put under charm
To bespell is to cast a spell over someone or something—to enchant or bewitch.
The word is archaic and literary, appearing mainly in fantasy fiction or deliberately old-fashioned prose: The sorceress bespelled the prince into eternal sleep.
Someone bespelled is under magical influence, captivated beyond ordinary attraction.
