bewitched

Captivated by magic

Bewitched describes someone or something under the influence of magic or enchantment—literally cursed or charmed by a witch.

More commonly, it means captivated or entranced: He was bewitched by her smile.

The word suggests being so fascinated that rational thought fails, as if under a spell.
