Enchantment takes a break (5)
I believe the answer is:
spell
This clue is a double definition.
'enchantment' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'a break' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'takes' is the link.
(Other definitions for spell that I've seen before include "Period of time - bewitching utterance" , "Words with magical power, or a period of time" , "Short time, splinter" , "Put letters in right order" , "Short time - magical incantation" .)
