Re 'enchantment', I think there's a proverb, 'Distance lends enchantment'. Distance= further away.


PS. There definitely is, I've just looked it up.

You're welcome - 'enchantment' puzzled me earlier, when I did the crossword, but I didn't do anything about it then.
'Army' was clever, I thought.

Hear of fresh test I ducked, having no potential - N???R?L (there are only about 5 words that fit this pattern and I still can't get it!)

Familiar ares to fairy spoken - ?? ?A?T

Competence unchanged by putting cap on it - ABILITY? but how is it parsed?

Welsh boy sounds close - N?E I've looked up Welsh names but to no avail.
