ensorcelled

Caught by magic

Ensorcelled means bewitched or enchanted, placed under a spell.

The word carries a fairy-tale quality, evoking magic more literary than literal: The prince wandered ensorcelled through the enchanted forest.

Someone ensorcelled by a person or idea is captivated beyond reason: He remained ensorcelled by her long after she'd gone.
