The term "magnetic" applies to an object or field exhibiting magnetism. An object is said to be "magnetic" if it either attracts objects through magnetism, or is attracted by a magnet.

Example : A magnetic compass indicates direction because its needle responds to the magnetic field of the Earth, pointing north.

The word "magnetic" is applied metaphorically to other "attractive" aspects, giving rise to uses such as "magnetic charms" (sexual attractiveness) or a "magnetic personality" (where someone is genial and always seems to have others around him).
