enchanted objects
Spellbound material things
Enchanted objects are items imbued with magical properties in folklore, fantasy, and fiction—swords that glow near enemies, mirrors that show distant places, rings that grant invisibility.
The phrase also describes ordinary things that seem to possess special significance or emotional power: Her grandmother's locket was an enchanted object to her, full of memories.
In design and technology, enchanted objects refers to everyday items enhanced with digital capabilities—a umbrella that glows when rain is forecast, a pill bottle that reminds you to take medication.
