Actually, this word would not be used in its verb form (to spellbind); it is generally used as a noun -- spellbinder. It's an old word, and not used much today. It used to refer to someone who was fascinating or mesmerizing or even a little mysterious. (In other words, it was applied to someone who seemed to be able to cast a spell on you or on the audience.) In the old days, it was also applied to any politician who was a good public speaker-- but it was always used as a noun. For example: Nobody in the room made a sound when she gave her speech, because she was such a spellbinder that people wanted to hear every word.
