ensorcell

Put under charm

To ensorcell is to bewitch or enchant, casting a spell over someone or something.

The word is literary and old-fashioned, evoking fairy tales and medieval romance: The sorceress ensorcelled the prince, trapping him in eternal sleep.

It implies magical control rather than mere attraction.

Also spelled ensorcel.
