Other forms: enchanters
An enchanter is somebody who works magic spells. A great enchanter, the enchanter's staff, defeat the enchanter.
The female form is enchantress, and unlike most such pairs both are still in use. The word is warmer than sorcerer and less sinister than warlock. Inside it is the Latin for singing, because a spell was something chanted.
