magnetizer

Makes metals attract

A magnetizer is a device or person that imparts magnetic properties to something.

In industrial contexts, magnetizers are tools that align the magnetic domains in metal objects like screwdriver tips: Run the screwdriver through the magnetizer so it holds screws.

The word also applies to anyone who magnetizes—literally or figuratively, as a charismatic person who draws others.
