entrancement
Being utterly mesmerized
Entrancement is the state of being entranced—held in rapt attention or wonder.
The word carries overtones of being spellbound, as if under a magical charm: She watched in entrancement as the aurora filled the sky.
It can also describe the act of putting someone into such a state, though this use is rarer.
