Mesmerism, also known as animal magnetism, involves inducing a hypnotic state in someone through the use of gestures, eye fixation, and body movements. A hypnotic trance is then achieved where the person becomes highly suggestible to the mesmerist's commands or suggestions. It is often used for therapeutic purposes or entertainment.
"Because of the Wizard's mesmerism ability, the man was hyptnotised."
Mesmerism was a type of hypnosis made famous by a man named Mesmer.

Clifford feels young again when he is given a dose of Maule's mesmerism (hypnotism) by Holgrave, a character in the book. The mesmerism takes Clifford back to his youth, allowing him to relive moments from his past and experience a sense of vigor and vitality once more.
I suspect that the answer is "mesmerise". Hypnotism used to be referred to (in the very early days) as mesmerism.
