I believe the answer is:

bait

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what tempts' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'bishop with boundless faith?' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (abbreviation for bishop in chess).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'boundless' says to take the centre (the limits or bounds of the word are removed).
The middle of 'faith' is 'ait'.
'b'+'ait'='BAIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bait that I've seen before include "Angler's lure for fish" , "Boilie, for example" , "N in radio comms" , "Lure; tease" , "Tempt" .)
