I suppose the most precise answer is:
Narcotized (the state of having been treated by a narcotic, or "high".)
Another common word used is:
Euphoric (the state that many popular narcotics leave their subjects.)
But I wonder if the intended answer was simply:
High (slang for being narcotized.)
Explanation:
A kingdom that deceives perception
Narcotics alter perception when the subject is intoxicated and can often lead people to believe they have entered a different plane of existence or realm (kingdom).
It is an illusion
A lot of what you see when high on narcotics (often called a trip) is an illusion. For instance: some drugs cause people to believe they are seeing sounds waves and radio waves, while others cause people to see hideous monsters and terrifying things, both of which are (probably ;-) ) illusions.
Entry by Magic potion
Liquid is a common delivery method for narcotics in ritual practices and can be thought of as a potions. Indeed in times past (and even currently is some parts of the world), narcotics extracted from plants are boiled into cocktails and ingested in various ceremonies, and these have been called magic potions.
