bewitchments

Charms cast upon

Bewitchments are acts of casting spells or the states resulting from them—enchantments that hold someone under a magical influence.

The word extends to any captivating charm: the bewitchments of first love, unable to resist the bewitchments of the city at night.

Something that bewitches doesn't just attract; it holds you spellbound.
