magnetise

Create pulling force

Magnetise is the British spelling of magnetize.

To magnetise something is to give it magnetic properties—to make it attract iron or align with Earth's magnetic field.

Figuratively, a person who magnetises others draws them in with compelling charm or presence: She magnetised the room the moment she walked in.
