enchanted object

Bewitched physical thing

An enchanted object is something imbued with magical properties—a sword that glows near enemies, a mirror that speaks, a ring that grants invisibility.

The term belongs to folklore, fantasy literature, and games: The wizard's staff was an enchanted object of great power.

In design and technology, enchanted object sometimes describes everyday items enhanced with digital capabilities—a umbrella that lights up before rain, a pill bottle that reminds you to take medication.
