bewitchery
Spellcasting and charm
Bewitchery is the practice or effect of bewitching—casting a spell or exercising an irresistible charm over someone.
The word carries overtones of enchantment and seduction: the bewitchery of her smile, the bewitchery of the moonlit garden.
Like witchery and sorcery, it suggests power that captivates against one's better judgment.
