hypnotic
Like swinging pendulums
Hypnotic describes something that induces or relates to hypnosis—a trance-like state of heightened suggestibility.
A hypnotic suggestion is planted during such a trance.
More loosely, hypnotic describes anything that captures attention so completely it seems to entrance: the hypnotic rhythm of the drums, her hypnotic gaze.
As a noun, a hypnotic is a drug that induces sleep.
