I believe the answer is:

rwanda

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'something magical british artist captured in this country' is the definition.
'Rwanda' can be an answer for 'country' (Rwanda is an example). I am unsure of the rest of the definition.

'artist captured in this country' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'captured' is an insertion indicator.
'in this country' becomes 'wand' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ra' enclosing 'wand' is 'RWANDA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rwanda that I've seen before include "Language" , "Republic in central Africa" , "Kigali's country" , "African republic" , "African state" .)
