magnetically

Through magnetic force

Magnetically describes actions or properties related to magnets or magnetism.

Something can be magnetically charged, magnetically attracted, or magnetically recorded, as with old audio and video tapes that stored information on magnetized material.

Figuratively, a person who draws others to them does so magnetically: She smiled and the crowd magnetically gravitated toward her.

The word suggests an irresistible pull, whether physical or personal.
