I’m trying to parse the difference between enchant (verb) and incantation (noun).  “Enchanting” is the adjective.  “Enchantment” seems to be the noun of just as much lineage as “incantation“, both from the Latin root incantare – through French “enchanter” in this case and “incantation” in the other.  Hmmm.

To exert magical influence upon; to bewitch, lay under a spell. Also, to endow with magical powers or properties.
