'powerful attraction' is the definition.
'magnetism' can be an answer for 'attraction' (magnetism is a kind of attraction). I am not sure about the 'powerful' bit.

'bewitched' indicates anagramming the letters.
'gemma'+'isnt'='gemmaisnt'
'gemmaisnt' is an anagram of 'MAGNETISM'.

'by' is the link.
