List of items in Once Upon a Time

This list comprises the items featured in the American fantasy-drama television series Once Upon a Time and its spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.

Contents :

A

Agrabahn Viper Poison

The Agrabahn Viper Poison is an Agrabah item. It is used by the Agrabahn Vipers to murder King Leopold. Decades later, King Arthur persuades his squire Grif into ingesting a vial of this poison for the sake of Camelot. The effects differ based on if one is bitten by a viper or ingests the poison; if bitten, the victim will die of poisoing, but if ingested, the victim will dissolve in green smoke.

Ale of Seonaidh

The Ale of Seonaidh is a special ale that enables the person to speak to the dead upon pouring it on their grave.

The Witch of DunBroch gave it to Merida so that she can talk to King Fergus.

It was later revealed that Mr. Gold had placed a bottle of the Ale of Seonaidh in the Underworld at some point after he and his father Malcolm were killed. When Mr. Gold went to the Underworld version of his pawn shop to pick it up, he ran into his father's Peter Pan form who allowed him to take the Ale of Seonaidh on the house. Pouring some of it onto Captain Hook's grave, Emma's group did summon his spirit only to be unable to hear him. Regina later used it to speak to her father Henry when his soul was threatened by Cora on Hades' behalf.

Ambrosia

Ambrosia is a chocolate plant that is also known as the food of the Gods. This myth was according to Hades' telling of a rumor of the only time when someone was able to bring the dead back to life from the Underworld, the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The plant can be used to restore a soul and be reunited safely with one's living body. In order to acquire ambrosia, one has to go deep into the Underworld and face a test to determine True Love based on her heart. This was the task Emma used to save Hook but when they reach the location the tree was already cut by Hades, sealing Hook's fate.

Anti-Transformation Powder

The Anti-Transformation Powder is magical powder which can be used to stop transformation, and transform someone back to their original self.

Arthur's Reliquary

The Arthur's Reliquary is a Camelot item. This is where the Knights of the Round Table store the most precious items that they've collected from their quests.

Apprentice's Scroll

The Apprentice's Scroll is a that originally belonged to Merlin who gave it to his apprentice. In the first half of season 4, Ingrid used this scroll to enter Storybooke in 2001. In the second half of that same season, Storybooke residents who cross over the town line needed this scroll or else they can't come back.

B

Baelfire's Coconut

The Baelfire's Coconut is used to contain the Peter Pan's shadow. It holds a candle inside to lure a shadow into it inside the Dark Hollow.

Books

A book is a set of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of ink, paper, parchment, or other materials, fastened together to hinge at one side. There are different normal books in this show:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a book written by Alice about her adventures in Wonderland. The title of the book is suggested by her daughter after Alice finishes reading the book to her. Her daughter wonders if the story is real and Alice assures her that every word of it is true.

An Alphabetized Inventory of Magical Antiquities

An Alphabetized Inventory of Magical Antiquities is a book from in Colette's library, and is a record of every magical item in Sir Maurice's kingdom.

Her Handsome Hero

Her Handsome Hero is a book which belongs to Belle, and it was the first story her mother read to her. Belle prepares to take the book with her as the Ogres storm Sir Maurice's castle. Later, she holds the book during the time Rumplestiltskin comes to the castle to strike a deal.

C

Carmarthen Scroll

The Carmarthen Scroll is a Camelot item. It is a mysterious piece of paper King Arthur works hard to translate, in order to find clues about how to make Excalibur whole again.

Chalice of Vengeance

The Chalice of Vengeance is an item that determines a person's guilt or innocence by drinking from the cup. The item was used in Storybrooke when David and King Arthur went to the campsite to seek out a culprit who was stealing key objects needed to return the displaced Arthurians back to Camelot, leading the two to Arthur's squire Grif, who was later revealed to be Arthur's minion in the King's plot to take over Storybrooke instead of returning to Camelot.

As Belle points out, it's actaully just a mug leftover from Doc's birthday. "It says Doctorberfest on it."

Chipped Cup

The Chipped Cup is taken from the story between Rumplestiltskin and Belle. When her father's realm is threatened by the Ogre Wars, Rumplestiltskin offers to protect it in exchange for Belle becoming the caretaker of his estate. Belle accepts the deal and whilst serving him, accidentally drops a drinking cup, causing it to be chipped. After Rumplestiltskin demands her to leave following her romantic feelings for him, he is falsely informed by the Evil Queen Regina that she had died. He then places the cup on display as a tribute or remembrance.[1]

The chipped cup is also featured in Storybrooke. Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin) acquires the item from Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) after revealing his true identity to her. In this story, Gold is shown to have great attachment to the memento.[1] After the Dark Curse is broken, Belle is reunited with Mr. Gold. He admits that among the many objects he keeps in his pawn shop, the chipped cup is the only one he truly cherishes.[2] After Belle loses her memories due to accidentally crossing the town border line, Mr. Gold visits her in a hospital room with the chipped cup. Placing it in her hands, he asks Belle to look at it and concentrate, in the hopes that if she tries hard enough, some memory recollection will come back. He informs her that the cup is charmed with magic, though the subject of magic scares Belle, and she hurls it against the wall. With the cup shattered to pieces, she urges him one final time to leave, to which he does in despair.[3] Mr. Gold later returns to the hospital to collect the shards of the cup and keep them in his shop. His close call with death at Hook's hands leads him to make a last confessional phone call to Belle. When Mr. Gold survives, she is incredibly relieved and begins to trust that he can help her recuperate from amnesia. Before that can happen, Regina intervenes to plant false memories in Belle so she takes on the persona of Lacey. Completely opposite of her old self, Lacey is drawn to the dark side of Mr. Gold and the two begin a relationship. As the end of Storybrooke nears due to outsiders Greg Mendell and Tamara activating the trigger, Mr. Gold is given a dose of Mother Superior's memory potion by Leroy, which will restore a person's Enchanted Forest memories if the user drinks it from one of his or her own precious items. He takes out the cup shards and restores the object, pouring the potion liquid into the cup and she drinks it in a toast. Belle returns and reunites with Mr. Gold as she comforts him over the loss of Neal. Eventually, the trigger is stopped, but Henry is kidnapped to Neverland by Greg and Tamara; leading Mr. Gold to join in on the journey there to rescue him in honor of Neal.[4] While he believes the only way to save Henry from the villainous Peter Pan is to sacrifice his own life, Regina's suggests that there must be a way to contain their nemesis. Mr. Gold realizes he has Pandora's Box in his shop and instructs a mermaid, Ariel, to retrieve it. Once in Storybrooke, Ariel hands a sand dollar to Belle from Mr. Gold which activates a projected image of him telling her that she can find the necessary item to defeat Pan "with the strength of their love". Belle understands this is a reference to their chipped cup. She places it back in the cupboard on a saucer; triggering a spell to open a hidden compartment in the floor, where she finds the box.[5] In "Lily", Belle says she threw away the cup; however, she was under Regina's control at the time, so it's left up to debate.

In "The Bear and the Bow", it's revealed that the cup was still intact. Emma uses it as an incentive to make Gold train as a hero. Gold regretfully shatters the cup to cut the ropes holding his hands together.

Cora's Vault

The Cora's Vault is used by Cora for storing the Safe Haven residents' hearts. She brings the vault with her to Storybrooke, where it is placed inside Regina's Heart Vault. When Mary Margaret enters the building, she opens Cora's vault, and discovers Cora's own heart inside it.

Clock Tower

The Clock Tower is an item/place of significance in Once Upon a Time. For the 28 years that the first Dark Curse was active, it remained stuck at 8:15, never changing time until Emma, the Savior meant to break the curse, stayed in Storybrooke. It served as a place of many showdowns, such as between Regina and Zelena, Cora and Mary Margaret, Mr. Gold and Emma. It also served to hide items, such as the Dark One's dagger, and the dream-catchers Emma kept everyone's memories in. Many people have been thrown out of the clock face, such as Snow White's former nanny Johanna, along with Zelena.

In the Underworld, it is separate from the building, remaining stuck. Anytime a souls leaves the Underworld for Mount Olympus, it will tick once. It can also serve as a portal back to Storybrooke once Hades' heart is restarted with True Love's kiss.

Cruella's Car

Cruella's Car' is a 1920s vehicle owned by Cruella De Vil, though it originally belonged to Isaac Heller during his brief stay in her world; however, she may have purchased a similar vehicle in the Land Without Magic, given she fell through a portal to that world without the car. The exterior is black and white, with a red carpeted interior; the rear of the vehicle, which as has a red carpet layout, has a truck with a spare tire compartment attached. The licence plate reads "Dev IL". By the time Cruella arrives in Storybrooke, she has numerous Parking Violations tickets stored away in the compartments. She also appears to have had the car modified to have automated windows.

In the Underworld, Cruella is shown to have her car. However, in Storybrooke, its left with "For Sale" painted on the windshield, after her death.

Cyrus' Talisman

Cyrus' Talisman is a necklace worn by Cyrus. After he finds love and proposes marriage to Alice, Cyrus shows her the necklace, which begins to glow a bright red, and explains their hearts are entwined so now both of them will know when the other is near. Later, he loses the talisman, but Alice finds it outside the Mad Hatter's house which instills her belief that Cyrus is alive.

Later when trapped by a pack of Mome Raths (who are attracted to the glow of the necklace), Alice gives it up to them in order to flee.

D

Dark One's Dagger

The Dark One's Dagger is a blade belonging to the Dark One's evolving victim, whose name is inscribed. It is also later revealed to be a broken half of the sword Excalibur. Anyone who wields the Dark One's Dagger can control the Dark One. The dagger is first seen to be owned by a man named Zoso, who Rumplestiltskin kills after stealing it from an unnamed Duke, in order to take its power and prevent his son Baelfire being taken to fight in the Ogre Wars.[6] A Dark One can cleave themselves of the Dagger's control and retain their powers, so long as they have the Sorcerer's hat when it aligns with the night sky, and the heart of someone who knew them before they became the Dark One. The only other way for a Dark One to survive, but lose their powers is to be kissed by their true love; however, this doesn't work in the Land Without Magic. The more evil deeds a Dark One performs, the more their heart blackens, until eventually, their original self vanishes and the Dark One is all they are.

When Peter Pan tried to kill off Rumplestiltskin's loved ones, he used his shadow to return his Dagger and stabbed himself and Pan with it. This caused Peter Pan to revert into Malcolm, and killed both of them. When the Wicked Witch of the West, Zelena, had Rumplestiltskin as her prisoner, she also had the Dark One's Dagger with her to keep him at bay. Zelena also used the dagger to shave Mr. Gold and secretly obtain his blood so that she can get the Nightroot and spike David Nolan's tea with it. During this time, it's shown that true love cannot help a Dark One resist the power of the dagger; Belle tried reaching out to Gold twice, but failed. Regina took possession of it after stopping Zelena, giving it to Belle to "curb any homicidal impulses" in Mr. Gold. However, through slight of hand inherited from his father, Gold takes the dagger and gives Belle a fake. He stabs Zelena, reducing her to dust; however, her lifeforce endured.

He later uses it as a medium to unlock the Sorcerer's hat (since Anna's tear had fallen on it, and only one who overcame their darkness can open the box the hat's in). When Mr. Gold attempts the ceremony to free himself of the Dagger, Belle takes possession of it and forces him to enter the Land Without Magic; the Snow Queen's lingering magic prevented anyone who left from returning without her magic scroll. Belle then hid the dagger behind one of the hands on the face of the clock tower (as Rumplestiltskin had done earlier), keeping its location a secret from anyone else.

As result, upon his return to Storybrooke, Mr. Gold hides in the shadows to avoid being under the dagger's control. Hook even suggested he would have taken the burden of being the new Dark One if it meant putting an end to Gold's schemes; it would be a price worth paying, since he wouldn't mind having the curse broken. Taking the form of Hook, Gold convinces Belle to let him hide the dagger since her ideas for a hiding place would already be known. Gold later uses the dagger to revert Pinocchio to August to gain information on the Author of Once Upon a Time.

In the finale of Season 4, Rumplestiltskin is turned into a counterpart called the Light One when the Author writes Heroes and Villains. However, once the magic is undone, he nearly dies from the darkness poisoning his heart. Fortunately, the Apprentice sucks the darkness inside him into the Sorcerer's hat, leaving Mr. Golds heart pure white. Unfortunately, it's later revealed that this Darkness was tethered to a human soul, which began the Dark One line, to keep the evil force from destroying the realms. The only one capable of destroying the Darkness for good is the wizard Merlin. In the meantime, Emma allows herself to become the host of the darkness and thus becomes the new Dark One.

During Emma and her friends their quest to destroy the darkness inside her, it is revealed that the Dark One's Dagger was made from the broken tip of Excalibur. Also she and Merlin face the first Dark One ever, Nimue, whose dark magic was tethered to the dagger by Merlin to protect the realms.

Upon gaining Excalibur and the Dark One's Dagger, Emma uses the Promethean Spark from Nimue's heart to make Excalibur whole again.

Following Excalibur's destruction upon impaling Captain Hook with it in order to defeat the Darkness and the resurrected Dark Ones, Mr. Gold was revealed to have transferred the Darkness back into himself and arranged a back-up Dark One's Dagger with a special potion which Emma learns about upon hearing its whispers as a side-effect of having previously been the Dark One. Gold is forced to behave himself or else Emma will tell Belle he's reverted. The name on this dagger is different as it uses silver letter over a black background, instead of the previous version.

Dreamcatcher

A Dreamcatcher is a magical item of unknown origins used to retrieve memories. After Dr. Archie Hopper (Jiminy Cricket) is supposedly murdered in Storybrooke, Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin) instructs Emma Swan to summon his pet Dalmatian Pongo's memories who witnessed the assault. The dreamcatcher shows Emma that Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) strangled Archie, though it is later revealed that her mother Cora posed as her daughter to make her vulnerable and allow her entrance back into her life.[7]

While fighting off the Darkness' influence, Emma made numerous dreamcatchers, hoping to block out its voice. She later used these to store the memories of everyone she cursed to return to Storybrooke. Emma appears to have great sorrow for having done this to Henry.

Dreamshade

The Dreamshade is a native poison of Neverland, it is typically found as an oozing substance in thorns. During the period of Captain Hook's stay in Neverland, he gathers some dreamshade in a condensed form. It was later taking it with him back to the Enchanted Forest and then onto Storybrooke. In his plans to destroy the Dark One, known as Mr. Gold in Storybrooke, Hook sails to New York on a ship, tracks his nemesis down and stabs him with a hook laced in dreamshade. The poison proves to be deadly, but, Mr. Gold makes a full recovery with Mary Margaret's help in using magic to take away the life of another while saving him.

The waters of Neveland can cure the afflicted, but at the cost of preventing them for ever leaving that realm which is what happened to Captain Hook's brother Liam. Mr. Gold later developed a cure of his own for the Dreamshade, giving it to David Nolan to heal him.

Dwarf Pickaxe

Dwarf Pickaxes are tools assigned to mining Dwarves after they are newly hatched and ready to work. Per axe, each is designated to give a name to a dwarf based on his individual personality. A pickaxe that no longer fits a dwarf after he undergoes a personality change (such as in the case of Dreamy when he became Grumpy) cannot use the old pickax anymore. Instead, a new pickaxe is assigned to the dwarf with a new name. As noted by the lead mining dwarf Bossy, pickaxes never lie and always tell the truth about a dwarf's personality type by the name that is given.

Though pickaxes are usually reserved for dwarves only, an exception is given when a giant named Anton is having trouble finding a place in life where he fits in and is accepted by the dwarves as a brother of sorts. Anton is given his own pickaxe with his nickname "Tiny" on it. Pickaxes are incredible durable and can break the most rigid of items, including diamonds. It is used as a weapon by Greg to break open the trigger and undo Storybrooke ("And Straight On 'til Morning"), and by Snow White to learn Queens whereabouts from a soldier ("Heart of Darkness").

Shown in "Siege Perilous", they can't work on the stone holding Excalibur.

E

Elixir of the Wounded Heart

The Elixir of the Wounded Heart is a powerful elixir capable of healing emotional and physical damage to the drinker's heart.

In the past, this was kept by Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the Emerald City's palace after she took it over. Rumplestiltskin, realizing that all the dark deeds he has committed as the Dark One would poison his heart, needed to obtain the potion, but didn't want to risk getting into a confrontation with Zelena. He hired Robin Hood to steal it, but the only vial he manages to steal was given to Will Scarlet, who was unable to move on from the death of his sister years ago.

When Zelena sends Walsh to keep on eye on Emma, she sends a bottle of the Elixir of the Wounded Heart with him, amongst other charms. This was kept in his furniture shop, the Wizard of Oak. Mr. Gold, suffering heart attacks as result of being in the Land Without Magic (since in Storybrooke, he could protect his heart from the poison of his dark deeds with magic), asks Robin Hood to finally fulfill their bargain. However, Zelena, who had disguised herself as Marian, steals it and makes a deal with him. If he finds the Author, she wants a happy ending written for her too. Mr. Gold agrees and receives the Elixir, healing his heart for the moment.

Emma's Car

Emma's Car is a Volkswagen Beetle car belonging to the protagonist Emma Swan. Initially, the car was stolen by her lover Neal Cassidy, who used it as his home. At the age of 17, Emma attempted to steal it. However, they nearly get caught by a cop; Neal lies that he was teaching her how to drive, getting the cop to let them go with a warning. After being forced by August to set up Emma, Neal gets new plates for the car, leaving it as a parting gift. Emma keeps the car for the next 12 years. Lily attempts to steal it, but is run off the road by Emma.

Emma's Jacket

Emma's Jacket is Emma Swan's signature trademark outfit of choice. The red leather jacket acts as her emotional "armor" and has been a part of life since she purchased it in 2010 as a reminder of having befriended Cleo Fox, a bounty hunter who inspired Emma to become a bounty hunter in her own right.

Enchanted Bow

An Enchanted Bow is a typical bow and arrow with magical properties. An arrow fired from the bow will always reach its target that is made clear by the wielder. Rumplestiltskin gives Snow White the arrow to kill the Evil Queen in retaliation to her murdering her father King Leopold. However, Prince Charming willingly stands in the way and is shot himself, leading Snow to kiss him and remember her true self (after she had taken a potion to forget Charming as she could not be with him).[8]

On a separate occasion, Robin Hood is seen with an Enchanted Bow after breaking into Rumplestiltskin's castle to steal a magical wand to heal his ill lover Maid Marian. The arrow hits Rumplestiltskin, though his Dark One status allows him to survive. After Hood escapes, Rumplestiltskin uses his bow to attempt to kill him, though he purposely misses when Belle instructs him not to leave Marian's child fatherless.[9]

Enchanted Bracelet

An Enchanted Bracelet is used for various purposes. One purpose is to remove someone's magical abilities as used on Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) in Storybrooke by newcomers Greg Mendell and Tamara to torture her into telling them where Greg's father is.[10] At the time, they mistakenly believed the bracelet contained technology to neutralize magic. Rumplestiltskin later acquires the cuff from Regina to use on his father, Peter Pan, though it is later placed on Rumplestiltskin, making him powerless. Though Rumplestiltskin manages to remove it offscreen.[11] It's implied that he used a sword to cut off his hand to get rid of it, and reattach his hand with magic. In "The Dark Swan", this is proven true as Zelena uses this method to remove the bracelet.

A different enchanted bracelet can let mermaids take human form. Regina gifted one to Ariel for completing a task for her and Mr. Gold, allowing her to switch forms whenever she wanted. Ursula stole one from her father, King Poseidon, after he banished her; this proved useful after her transformation into the sea witch, allowing her the use of tentacles and legs.

Enchanted Brain

An Enchanted Brain is a magical item that most characters own their heads. An enchanted brain can be removed from the head of someone with magic the same way used to remove a heart. An enchanted brain has a golden color and can be used as a symbol of wisdom in a Time Travel Spell. Unlike with enchanted hearts, the removal of the brain kills the victim.

Enchanted Candle

An Enchanted Candle is a magical item used to save someone's life by taking another's. When Snow White's mother, Eva, falls ill with a mysterious illness, a royal servant tells Snow of the Blue Fairy, who summons the candle and advises Snow to use it. "She" informs her that to save a life, she must take one. Snow White cannot bring herself to kill, and her mother praises her for choosing good before dying. It was later revealed that Cora Poisoned Queen Eva, (learnt in The Miller's Daughter) in order to ease the path for Regina to become Queen. We later learn in the episode (The Queen Is Dead) that Cora took the appearance of the Blue Fairy in an attempt to corrupt Snow White's good and innocent heart, and according to her saying, to make it become as "black as coal." [12]

Years later in Storybrooke, Mary Margaret (Snow White) and David (Prince Charming) help shelter a wounded and dying Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin), who was attacked with Dreamshade by Captain Hook. Gold purposely makes Mary Margaret find the candle in his shop, asking her to kill Cora and save him as they are now related through Henry. After initial reluctance, Mary Margaret realizes she needs to protect her family, whispering Cora's name over the candle and cursing her heart, which is inside Regina Mills (the Evil Queen)'s vault. She then tricks Regina into returning Cora's heart to her body so the two can have a loving relationship. Regina accepts and rushes back to insert her mother's heart before Cora can kill Mr. Gold. Mr. Gold is healed of his wound and regains his full powers as the Dark One while Cora dies in Regina's arms.[13] The candle is last seen in the Season 3 episode "Bleeding Through." Now stripped off of its original power, it has become a relique in Mr Gold's pawnshop. In a desperate attempt to know more about Zelina's intentions, Regina, Mary Margaret, David, and Emma use the relique to summon Cora's spirit back. In order to summon someone's spirit back, the murderer must be present, and the weapon the murderer used must be present, too. In Cora's case, Mary Margaret was the murderer and the weapon used was the magical candle.

Enchanted Cloak

The Enchanted Cloak is a magical garment created by a wizard, who gave it to Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother. It has always been insisted upon by her grandmother that Red wear the cloak at all times, with the claim that its red color repels wolves. However, it's later revealed that Red in fact needs the item of clothing to ward off her curse of turning into a werewolf at "wolf's time." The cloak is stolen by a man named Quinn when Red is traveling in the woods with Snow White. She later learns he is also a wolf and that he stole it to let her embrace her true self. She later keeps the cloak after Quinn and her mother Anita die.[14]

It ended up in Storybrooke, but not in Mr. Gold's pawnshop. Albert Spencer/King George stole it when he framed Ruby/Red Riding Hood for murdering Billy/Gus the mouse. David Nolan used it to revert Ruby to human form after he manages to help talk her back to her senses as a wolf.

Ruby continues to keep the cloak afterwards, even upon her return the fairy tale worlds.

Enchanted Compass

An Enchanted Compass is a compass that is used to guide the person holding it to a desired location. Emma Swan and Mary Margaret (Snow White) set out to seek the magical compass after they are transported to the untouched part of the Enchanted Forest from Storybrooke. Captain Hook and Cora team up to also travel to Storybrooke and obtain the compass. Hook betrays her after Emma and Mary Margaret find him. He leads them to a beanstalk to retrieve the compass at the top from a giant. Emma retrieves the item but abandons Hook, not truly trusting him. Cora later steals the compass from the pair, and readies a portal at Lake Nostos with a returned Hook. The lake can restore the magic of the wardrobe to the ashes. However, Emma and Mary Margaret arrive in time to defeat Cora and Hook. They use the compass to travel through the portal to Storybrooke.[15]

Hansel and Gretel receive an enchanted compass from their father in order to allow them to find him anywhere, this is given to them in the Enchanted Forest right before he is abducted by Regina. It is broken when Gretel falls nearly being run over by the Queen's guards. In Storybrooke Emma Swan finds their father, as he is approaching the twins the compass starts to work once more.

In Wonderland, Cyrus owns a separate Enchanted Compass that would guide him to his mother if he ever got lost.

Enchanted Heart

An Enchanted Heart is a magical item that most characters own within their bodies. The user of an enchanted heart can crush it and kill the victim, control the victim's actions and speech, or use the heart to reanimate the victim's dead bodies. Additionally, people with their hearts ripped out are unable to feel any true emotion until the heart is restored; Regina told Robin Hood that while she could feel some of the romance between them, she could only fully enjoy it with a heart. A heart can be split in half, which is painful for whoever it belongs to, and given to someone who has lost their own; its unknown if this means that if one of them dies, the other will as well. However, this cannot work if the person has been dead too long, as a rotting corpse will not be able to hold its former soul; only Ambrosia would be able to restore the body to full health in order for the soul to return to it once half a heart is given.

After impressing King Xavier with the spinning straw into gold trick, Cora learned the heart-removing trick from Rumplestiltskin where she used it to take out her own heart.

After the pirate Killian Jones "steals" Rumplestiltskin's wife Milah away from him, Rumplestiltskin challenges him to a duel, until Milah returns, informing Rumplestiltskin that she willingly ran away with the pirate. He questions Milah about leaving their son Baelfire, and she reveals the reason to be that she never loved Rumplestiltskin. In his anger, he rips out her heart and crushes it, killing her instantly. After Cora, the daughter of a miller, rises to power with the help of Rumplestiltskin, she asks him to teach her how to rip out King Xavier's heart as revenge to him humiliating her. After this, the two lovers agree to runaway together, but when she puts the plan into motion of taking out the King's heart, he teaches her the phrase "love is weakness". Deciding to choose power over love, Cora pulls out her own heart and stores it in a box, becoming more controlling and power thirsty.

Many years later, Cora's daughter Regina falls deeply in love with a stable boy, Daniel and they plan to run away together. However, her mother forbids this, ripping out his heart and crushing it. Regina is devastated and is forced into an arranged marriage to King Leopold. Shortly following the marriage, Rumplestiltskin teaches her how to rip out a living creature's heart. Rather than do as he asks of her, Regina wants to know if resurrecting a deceased person is possible since she still longs for Daniel. He states magic cannot bring back the dead, yet Regina finds the scientist Dr. Victor Frankenstein to use one of her mother's collected hearts. The experiment is a failure, leaving Regina devastated beyond repair, which causes her road to evilness. After the death of King Leopold, the Queen sends guards to bring a Huntsman to her. She tasks him with the job of killing her stepdaughter, Snow White, and bringing back the girl's heart. He decides to let her go instead and delivers a heart of a deer to the Queen as a replacement. However, when the Queen realizes the heart is not human, she rips out his heart as payment, declaring that he belongs to her now. In her grand scheme to enact the Dark Curse, the Queen sacrifices the heart of her most prized and precious steed Rocinate. The curse is unsuccessful, so she goes to ask Rumplestiltskin, the maker of the Dark Curse. He instructs her to take the heart of the person she loves most. Realizing this to be her father, she reluctantly rips his heart out and successfully enacts the curse.[16]

After the successful activation of the curse, the Evil Queen's counterpart, Regina Mills, rules the town of Storybrooke and its inhabitants. After two outsiders, Kurt and Owen Flynn, discover the town, she befriends them and warms up to the idea of them staying permanently. When Kurt rejects the idea, Regina becomes desperate to stall their leaving. Still having the Huntsman's heart in her possession, she orders his counterpart Sheriff Graham to prevent them from leaving town by arresting Kurt for false drunk driving. However, Kurt accidentally witnesses this and attempts to make a speedy escape, but as he backs out of the room, Graham wrestles him to the desk. This swift motion causes the box containing the heart to hit the floor, drawing a pained reaction from Graham due to the direct impact, which allows Kurt to escape in his car with Owen. To protect his son, Kurt willingly allows himself to be taken in at the town border so Owen can flee.[17] When Emma Swan, the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, arrives in Storybrooke after twenty-eight years, she soon falls for Graham, kissing him. This causes him to witness flashbacks of his life in the Enchanted Forest. Graham becomes convinced he has lost his heart, and begs Emma to help him look for it. Regina gains insight that Graham is beginning to regain some memories of his life as the Huntsman in the Enchanted Forest. After he turns against Regina, and she, having no further use for him now that he is not loyal to her anymore, takes his heart and squeezes it to dust, resulting in an apparent fatal "heart attack".[18]

In Wonderland, it was shown that Will Scarlet had Cora remove his heart so that he wouldn't feel the heartbreak of Anastasia abandoning him for the Red King. Alice later claimed the heart from Cora and gave it to him. When the Knave of Hearts was in Storybrooke, he hid his heart in the wall of his apartment behind a pencil drawing of the Red Queen. After Alice, Cyrus, and the White Rabbit return to Wonderland with the Knave of Hearts' heart, Jafar steals it from them and places it back into the Knave of Hearts.

So far, Emma Swan is the only one that has an enchanted heart that can not be destroyed, ripped out, or crushed due to her being the product of "True Love" and in part to Rumplestiltskin taking Snow White and Prince Charming's DNA and placing it in a jar in hopes of Emma will arrive to break the curse. Emma's heart can also emit a blue burst of light that can stop a person who has an evil streak, which Cora found out after Emma jumped in and saved Snow White from having Cora ripping her heart out. This was the first time that Emma discovered that she had special powers, explaining that her love is strength, not weakness as Cora had pointed out to others. However, Emma immune heart became a target of evil forces as long as she continue to give everyone their happy endings. E

In "Sympathy for the De Vil", Mr. Gold reveals that his own heart is completely black except for one small dot that represents the goodness in him. He needs the Author's help to save himself. In "Mother", Mr. Gold further elaborates that while the Dark One cannot die, Rumplestiltskin can, meaning that his true self is dying and the full persona of the Dark One would take over once he was gone. In "Operation Mongoose", Mr. Gold has the darkness removed from his heart, leaving it pure white. In "Siege Perilous", its revealed this made him a blank slate who could become the "purest of heroes".

Killian attempts to remove Zelena's heart in "The Dark Swan", by using a potion Regina had given him to enchanted his hook. However, Zelena had already placed a protection spell on her heart to counter the theft.

Endless Coin Bag

The Endless Coin Bag is a magical bag capable of containing vast amounts of gold coins than what its physical size allows, which Rumplestiltskin brings to the Land Without Color to pay for Dr. Frankenstein's services.

Eye of the Storm

The Eye of the Storm is a much sought-after blue sapphire, and countless sailors have lost their lives trying to find it. Hades offers the stone to Liam Jones, in exchange for letting his cargo ship sink so Hades can have the crew's souls, except for him and his brother Killian, who will be saved. Liam makes the deal, and drives the ship right into a storm. Liam then uses the stone to get him and his brother their dream jobs in the royal navy.

F

Fairy Dust

Fairy Dust is a fine powder enchanted by fairies used for good purposes. In the Enchanted Forest, dwarfs mine for diamonds underground, and with the use of machinery, the diamonds are ground down to make fairy dust, which is collected and used by fairies. A fairy named Nova is given the task by her superior, the Blue Fairy, in gathering some of the dust from the mines. When she struggles to contain the dust, she is helped by the dwarf, Dreamy, who has a connection to the fairy as she sprinkled fairy dust on his pre-hatched egg.[19] Belle gives Dreamy advice on pursuing Nova, and in return for her help, he gives her a pouch of fairy dust. She goes on an adventure to hunt for a beast named the Yaoguai. Instead of killing it, the creature asks her for help to free him. She sprinkles fairy dust over the Yaoguai, turning the beast back into Prince Phillip.[20]

Runaway princess-turned-thief Snow White steals valuable jewels from road by-passers and sells them to some Bridge Trolls for money. She is forced to help Prince Charming retrieve the jewelry she stole from him and sold after he threatens to turn her over to the Queen. In a showdown with the Bridge Trolls, Snow White finds herself using dust on them when they grab hold of Prince Charming. She saves his life by throwing the dust onto the Bridge Trolls, who turn into mere insects.[21]

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, along with her other allies, Granny and Red Riding Hood, later team up together with the fairies to fight their way into King George's castle to rescue Prince Charming. The Blue Fairy and her fellow fairies launch an aerial attack on the castle and use fairy dust to incapacitate the guards.[22]

Upon their reunion, Snow White and Prince Charming battle King George and the Evil Queen to win back the kingdom. The Blue Fairy stops Regina from killing Snow White by throwing fairy dust to freeze and temporary leave her powerless.[7]

Flame of Prometheus

The Flame of Prometheus, also known as the Promethean Flame, is a magical fire used to giving fire to mankind, forging Excalibur and release someone from Excalibur's control.

Emma summons Nimue with the dagger. After a confrontation where Nimue tries to force Emma to kill Merlin, Emma manages to regain control and forces Nimue to yield the ember to her.

Flying Broomstick

The Flying Broomstick is a broom that can fly and serve as a witch's mode of transportation. During the missing year in the Enchanted Forest, Zelena uses her flying broomstick to fly to and from the Dark Palace.

The Flying Broomstick was also used in Storybrooke when Zelena escaped from the clock tower after she failed to procure Regina's heart.

Forget-Me-Knot

The Forget Me Knot is a magical item in the shape of a rope that, when looped together, acts as a picture frame to present the more recent thing that occurred at the chosen scene.

In Wonderland, the Caterpillar owns the Forget Me Knot, but it eventually falls into the hands of the Red Queen (from whom the Grendel steals the item and earns himself a physical disfigurement from her for the theft). Seeking knowledge about who dug up Cyrus' genie bottle, Alice and the Knave of Hearts require a way to use the item, though it is currently in the possession of the Caterpillar, to whom the Knave owes a great deal of debt. The Caterpillar explains the item is now in the possession of the Grendel, and that he will forgive all of the Knave's debt if he retrieves the knot for him. The Knave and Alice locate the Knot and witness the Grendel seeing his old life. The Knave attempts to convince him the only way to move on from the past is to let go of it. An angry Bandersnatch arrives and it is tricked into looking into the Forget Me Knot containing an image of Alice and Knave cowering on the floor moments earlier and charges right into the knot's loop. The Knave then stabs the beast, killing it. As gratitude for saving his life, the Grendel gives Alice the knot, explaining that the new event recorded by the Knot has overwritten his and therefore has no value to him. Alice thanks him and she and the Knave travel to the pasture site near the dandy-lion tree hedge where the bottle was once buried.

Upon looking through the knot, Alice is surprised to see the White Rabbit unearthing the bottle and giving it to the Red Queen. Feeling awfully betrayed, Alice and Knave prepare to return the Forget Me Knot to the Caterpillar. However, Knave believes that stealing the item and handing it over to the Caterpillar makes him a thief. However, if the stolen item is used to help Alice, then that makes him a good person. Choosing neither alternative, Knave burns the Forget Me Knot.

G

Glass Coffin

The Glass Coffin is built by the seven dwarves for Snow White to be placed in after her "death" at the Evil Queen's hands.

The dwarves set the coffin in the woods and are paying their respects when Prince Charming rides up to say goodbye. They take off the coffin cover to allow him to do so. Prince Charming gives Snow White one last kiss, which turns into true love's kiss and breaks the sleeping curse she is under. Snow White's eyes open and she inhales, awake.

After the casting of the curse, Regina places the coffin in a cave under the Storybrooke Clock Tower and keeps a trigger hidden inside it. Because the trigger can be used to erase the town of Storybrooke and its inhabitants, Regina does not want it falling into the wrong hands and has a great beast guard the cave from intruders.

Glass Slippers

The Glass Slippers is an Enchanted Forest item, that belongs to Cinderella. When Rumplestiltskin sends Cinderella off to the ball, he conjures up a pair of glass slippers to go with her ball gown because "every story needs a memorable detail."

Genie Lamp

A Genie Lamp is the home of a genie within, who is unleashed upon being found by someone. In the Enchanted Forest, the lamp is found by chance on a beach by King Leopold. He rubs the lamp; trying to clean it, and the Genie comes out from inside. The Genie explains that, by releasing him from the lamp, King Leopold can be granted three wishes. As Leopold wants for nothing, his first wish is to free the Genie. His second desires to give his third and final wish to the genie himself. However, from experience, the Genie refuses to make the wish as he has seen them end badly many times. King Leopold invites the Genie to become his associate in his palace, to which he agrees. Upon arriving, he falls in love with Leopold's wife Queen Regina. However, she tricks him by using him to kill Leopold in order to make her the sole ruler of Leopold's realm. The Genie realizes this, and wishes to be with Regina forever. He is then placed within her hand mirror and transformed into her servant as the Magic Mirror.[23]

Alice later found the Genie Lamp that Cyrus was in during her earlier adventures in Wonderland. It is revealed that the two Genie Lamps that are in Jafar's possession contain Cyrus' brothers Taj and Rafi.

Gravestones

In the Underworld, each soul has a grave in the cemetery. Pouring magic ale on one will summon the person it belongs to. If the gravestone is standing, that person is still in the Underworld; if it's cracked, they're in Hell; if the gravestone is tipped over, the soul has ascended to Mount Olympus. They can trap a living soul in the Underworld, and prevent their hearts from being removed; or this is perhaps one of Hades' powers.

Hades, not happy with the heroes freeing the souls in the Underworld, assigns Captain Hook to carve a name in a new gravestone for member of his rescue party, for each souls that's freed from the Underworld. For Henry I, Hercules and Meg, he has forced Regina, Snow and Emma to remain in the Underworld. After Hook uses the enchantment on his hook to scratch out Snow's name and replace it with David's, Hades puts Henry II and Robin Hood's names on gravestones to ensure another switcheroo doesn't happen again.

Following her deal with Hades, Emma has the heroes names removed from the gravestones, allowing them back home. The stones are still there, perhaps waiting for the day when they will be used properly.

H

Hades' Car

In the Underworld, Hades' choice of transportation is a red 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe, which he used for his date with Zelena. Regina told Zelena that the next time they go on a date he needs to tone down the chrome on the vehicle.

Hercules' Medals

The Hercules' Medals show motifs from the Labours of Hercules: The Nemean Lion, the Lernaean Hydra, the Ceryneian Hind, the Erymanthian Boar, the Augean stables, the Stymphalian Birds, the Cretan Bull, the Mares of Diomedes, the girdle of Hippolyta, the cattle of the monster Geryon, and the apples of Hesperides. The final labor that involves Cerberus is missing since Hercules hadn't faced him yet and fell in battle against him while protecting Megara. Though he, Megara, and Mary Margaret are able to defeat Cerberus in the Underworld.

Hook of Killian Jones

The Hook of Killian Jones is a replacement of the character's left hand when Rumplestiltskin chops off Jones' hand. Killian Jones' notoriety of having a hooked hand earns him the nickname "Hook". He finds a way to travel to Storybrooke and get revenge on Rumplestiltskin, now known as Mr. Gold. After Hook is being hospitalized for severely fractured ribs, his hook is taken away and kept in the sheriff's office, but he eventually steals it back. Using a type of poison, he coats his hook and tracks down Mr. Gold in New York where he stabs him. When Killian blackmailed Mr. Gold into reattaching his lost hand, Emma jokingly asked if she was supposed to call him "Captain Hand". However, the hand belonged to his old self, and was causing Killian to relapse back into that person; in exchange for a favor to Mr. Gold, Killian had his hook once more take the place of his hand.

During The Tower, Emma once pointed out that Killian looks for any opportunity to use his hook; Killian was searching through bushes of berries for a match to the one found in Regina's office after the Wicked Witch ransacked it. If he needs to appear harmless in the Land Without Magic, Killain swaps the hook for a fake hand.

Holy Grail

The Holy Grail is a magical item from Camelot. One who drink from the Holy Grail receives magic and immortality.

Five hundred years ago, through the desert a men named Merlin and his companion come across the Holy Grail filled with water. His companion attempts to drink from it, but is turned into ash instantly. Knowing he will either succumb to death by thirst or by the grail's power, Merlin asks for permission from the gods to drink from the cup. Upon touching the cup and not being incinerated, he thanks the gods again, before taking a sip, which blesses him with magic and immortality. With his new powers, he accidentally turns the desert into a grassland that becomes the village of Camelot.

Centuries later, an immortal Merlin has gained a reputation as a healer and meets a refugee named Nimue. Her village was slaughtered by a man named Vortigan, who was trying to find the Grail. Merlin and Nimue soon fall in love, and the sorcerer thinks about marrying her, but realizes he'd have to watch her die because of his immortality. They decide to reforge the Holy Grail, using the Flame of Prometheus, into a sword to cut away his magic so that they can grow old together. On the journey, they come across Nimue's former home. While Merlin uses a detection spell to see if anyone is following them, Nimue secretly drinks from the chalice and gains magic and immortality. Eventually, they make it to the flame, where Merlin reforges the Holy Grail into a sword later known as Excalibur.

I

Ice Magic Neutralizing Candle

The Ice Magic Neutralizing Candle is a candle-shaped spell that can supposedly neutralize Ice Magic. To use it, someone must magically light the candle and then blow over it. However, there is no evidence that the spell actually works, as Emma fails to neutralize Elsa's and Ingrid's magic.

Ingredients for a Time Travel Spell

The Ingredients for a Time Travel Spell are:

Additionally, a drawn outline of a compass symbol on the ground is required with each symbolic bearing facing in the direction of the real bearing, and the caster must stand inside while casting the spell.

Invisible Chalk

Invisible Chalk is a magical item found in Mr. Gold's pawnshop in Storybrooke used for the purpose of creating a barrier. Under the conditions he is unable to do it himself, he tells Emma to draw a line using the chalk near the pawnshop door and then further instructs her on how to enact a barrier spell to prevent Cora from attacking him.

J

Jolly Roger

The Jolly Roger (originally The Jewel of the Realm) belonged to Killian's brother, Liam Jones. It had a Pegasus sail, which allowed it to fly. After Liam dies of Dreamshade poisoning, Killian takes command and renames the ship Jolly Roger. The vessel remained with throughout his life, even in Neverland and during the Dark Curse. He fought and nearly killed Blackbeard to get it back, but later traded it to him for a magic bean. With Ursula's help, Killian is able to reclaim his ship.

After Killian's death, the ship remains in the Storybrooke harbor.

L

Lily's Baby Rattle

The Lily's Baby Rattle is an item that Maleficent originally intended to give this to her baby daughter after she was born, but when Lily is stolen and whisked to another land, she uses it to grieve for her absence. After the mother and daughter are reunited, Maleficent gives it to Lily.

Lily's Necklace

Lily's Necklace is a necklace belonging to Lilith "Lily" Page, in the shape of a crescent moon. Unbeknownst to her, it is a fragment of the egg she hatched from. Cruella De Vil and Ursula stole the rest of it for magic to keep themselves young during their time on Earth. As it is the only thing she had of her birth parents, Lily was quite attached to it. As the Apprentice points it, the necklace compliments the star-shaped birthmark on Lily's wrist.

In the Season Four finale, Lily says it's the only clue to who her father is meaning she may have it examined for DNA and look for man whose DNA matches it.

Looking Glass

A Looking Glass is a mirror that acts as a portal to other realms. In a desperate attempt to get rid of her mother Cora and escape an unwanted marriage to King Leopold, Regina uses her mother's Book of Spells, summoning Rumplestiltskin. He offers a looking glass, instructing her to push Cora into it, and she will never have to see her mother again. On the day of her wedding, Cora visits Regina and immediately recognizes the looking glass. As Regina lunges forward to push her through it, Cora paralyzes her. With encouragement from Rumplestiltskin in the looking glass, Regina breaks free of the spell and roughly shoves her into the portal. Cora tries to keep from falling in, but vanishes into the looking glass, which shatters shortly after. The looking glass takes Cora to Wonderland where she gains immense power as the Queen of Hearts and later kidnaps her husband, Henry, to which Regina requests the assistance of a portal-jumper named Jefferson to help her get him back. They arrive into Wonderland through a looking glass and Regina successfully retrieves her father, abandoning Jefferson in the land.

In the castle of Maleficent, she possesses a mirror compact looking glass. While she is away, Robin Hood and his Merry Men steal her collection of gold for the poor. A member of the group named Will Scarlet intends to take the looking glass for himself and the woman he loves, Anastasia, so they can travel to another world. Will hurries back to Anastasia and throws the looking glass onto the floor to open a portal. She picks their next destination as Wonderland.

Lost and Found

The Lost and Found is a magic compass owned by Cyrus that can point towards something or someone the wearer has lost and wants to find again. Cyrus gained the Lost and Found from his mother, Amara, when he wasn't yet a genie. During his years of solitude inside the bottle, the compass was the one thing that he sought comfort in as it always pointed him in his mother's direction. Alas, this stopped several years ago, and now the compass only spins its needle in a continuous circle. Later, Cyrus trades the Lost and Found to the Caterpillar so he and Alice can "disappear". The Caterpillar accepts his form of payment and creates an invisible hideout in the Outlands for them. Discovering his mother is still alive, due to the magic water he once took to save her life, Cyrus steals back the compass in order to track her down. They find Amara in the form of Jafar's serpent staff, and she forcibly ejects herself from her master's control when he attempts to use her magic to hurt Cyrus.

M

Magic

Magic is a metaphysical and supernatural force featured on Once Upon a Time.

Use of magic is the ability to harness magic to cast spells, however, using dark magic corrupts the user. Powerful magical practitioners like Rumplestiltskin, Cora, Zelena and Regina become corrupted by their powers and in turn, their magic turned tainted as well. Not all magical practitioners are corrupted, however, such as fairies, but they are exceptions because they cannot use magic in negative ways, instead of choosing to not do so. Magic can be used to override the usual laws of nature, physics, and reality, but it always comes with a price. It is inherently neutral and cannot itself be split into good or evil, but can be used for either purpose. Since magic use is powered by emotion, the strength of the spell depends on the feelings of the caster focuses into the output of magic. Negative emotions are generally used to power spells while positive emotions are used to maintain control of spells.

Zelena has the most special type of magic in the series, she was able to continue to use magic even after they removed the pendant which contained her powers, and she is the only one alive that can use Merlin's magic, according to Emma. Zelena also has the ability to ban people to other realms without use of another world-crossing.

Laws of Magic

The Laws of Magic define the limits of magical abilities. There are three restrictions even the most powerful magic is said to be unable to break: bring back the dead, force someone to fall in love and change the past. However, these laws can and have been broken and changed by powerful spells. One of them is the combined power of three genies who have themselves overridden fate. This spell even makes the caster immune to the price of magic. Another case of law-breaking magic is the Time Travel Spell that was, in one case, enacted by gathering symbols of wisdom, courage, love and innocence.

Dr. Frankenstein attempted to use science to override the laws of magic and bring back his brother with a heart that had been strengthened against lightning surges by magic. Unfortunately, the end result was a violent, amnesiac shell of the former person Gerhardt had been. In one instance of a proper resurrection, Maleficent is revived after combining the blood of those who greatly wronged her with her ashes. In this case however, Maleficent was undead, allowing for a restoration to human form that did not break the laws. However, Maleficent later explains that she would turn back to ashes if she left Storybrooke, since there was no magic beyond the town border.

Another exception to the laws is that the Dark One is able to be resurrected from the vault if they kill themselves with the dagger. However, the price of this magic is another's life. Snow White had Regina rip her heart in half and give one half to Charming, whose own heart was used as the price of the second Dark Curse. Emma failed doing this with Hook, as his body had decayed too much because of the time she spent stuck in the Underworld. Maleficent was brought back to life after having the blood of those who wronged her most placed in her ashes. Unfortunately, she is confined to Storybrooke in the Land Without Magic (if she left, she would crumble back into dust). Also, the blood of a person that has died and come back to life can be used in conjunction with a portal to the underworld to summon one or more dead people from the underworld. However, their stay would only be temporary, unless a living soul takes their place thanks to the Mark of Charon.

Price of Magic

The Price of Magic is the inevitable expense for using or casting magic. Often stated as a warning that "magic always comes with a price", but sometimes, the price is not foreseeable. Rumplestiltskin's curse has the heaviest penalty for gaining his Dark One powers. While the magic allows him to accumulate masses of power, it not only binds his loyalty to a dagger, but also corrupts and injures him both physically and emotionally.

Other prices include the Evil Queen's sacrifice of her father's life to unleash the Dark Curse upon the Enchanted Forest. In doing so, she creates a void in her soul that can never be filled; however, this is later shown to be partially incorrect, as Regina found her soulmate in Robin Hood and is now happy. At another time, Regina's attempt to outsmart and get rid of Emma by putting her under a Sleeping Curse backfires, as Mr. Gold predicted, when Henry is afflicted with the curse instead. Even Mr. Gold himself, who knows all too well there's always a price to pay, brought magic to Storybrooke, which returned his powers, but the cost forces a barrier around town to form, preventing him from leaving to find his son with his Enchanted Forest memories intact. (This is a running gag in the series, that changes each season; something bad happens if somebody leaves Storybrooke, or no body can actually leave.)

Whenever someone doesn't pay the price of healing someone on the brink of death with magic, the formerly afflicted person may be hunted down by Furies, who are sent to take them to the Underworld. For example: when Emma, as the Dark One, saved Robin Hood's life as a favor to Regina, the price of saving Robin's life is for someone to die and it was Regina who was supposed to pay the price.

Physical description

Magic itself often manifests as a puff of smoke or sparkling dust, which can vary in colors, depending on the practitioner; possibly the differing colors may be due to whatever color the person favors most. Purple seems to be the most common color for the smoke manifestation of magic in general. The color varies according to the wielder and/or the form of magic: for instance, most of the time a person sticks to one color no matter their location (although there are certain instances where, due to unknown reason, their magic color is different). Furthermore, the Dark Curse manifests as a very large black cloudy storm in shades of purple and green. In the episode "Kansas", Regina's magic changed from purple to white because she was able to use light magic only at that moment to stop Zelena. Emma's magic changed from white to yellow, symbolizing the darkness had tainted her magic.

Types of magic and known practitioners

Belief

Belief is the magical ability that, being unique to Neverland, grants the practitioners the ability to summon whatever they can strongly believe in. However, it has some limitations though such as the necessity of pixie dust to fly. Pan suggests that Belief magic is stronger than witchcraft, given he claimed he could override the protection spell on Zelena's heart to steal it. The known practitioners of Belief are:

Blood Magic

Blood Magic is linked to a person's bloodline and can be used in spells for hiding items from those who aren't of the caster's bloodline. For example, the Wicked Witch was able to hijack the Evil Queen's protection spell over her palace since they shared Cora as a mother; Neal was able to reveal a hidden trove of magical objects in Rumple's castle due to being his son. The same method can be used to seal areas or locations. The known practitioners of Blood Magic are:

Fairy Magic

Fairy Magic is a type of magic that is used by fairies and anyone who uses fairy dust. If one has been transfigured by dark magic, this dust can undo the spell; example is when Belle helped Prince Phillip, who was turned into a monster by Maleficent. The known practitioners of Fairy Magic are:

  • Belle
  • Blue Fairy/Mother Superior
  • Emma Swan
  • Fairy Godmother
  • Henry Mills
  • Nova
  • Peter Pan
  • Robin Hood
  • Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold
  • Silvermist
  • Snow White
  • Tinker Bell

Foresight

Foresight is a magic that enables the user to see into the future. To an beginner, however, it would appear as a giant jumble of possibilities that may or may not come to pass; it would take time to learn how to sort out the events that would occur from those that wouldn't. As explained by Peter Pan, this magic doesn't work in Neverland, since time doesn't move forward there. The Authors also possess the gift of foresight in order to write the stories of fairy tale lands; they usually come in dreams, or visions. The known practitioners of Foresight are:

Genie Magic

Genie Magic is used by genies (whether they were born genies or if the Nyx evokes the genie curse on them) to grant people's wishes. Their magic tends to backfire on the wisher if they wish for something too big. Genie can perform magic even when not granting wishes. The known practitioners of Genie Magic are:

Healing Magic

Healing Magic is a source of magic that allows the person the ability to heal. The known practitioners of Healing Magic are:

Ice Magic

Ice Magic is a type of magic where the users can perform cryokinesis and create creatures made of snow and/or ice. Ingrid shows skill in leaving a time-delayed freezing curse in Maid Marian/Zelena's ice cream cone. Unless the user has exceptional control of their emotions, they will call upon this magic accidentally. The known practitioners of Ice Magic are:

Persuasion

Persuasion is a type of magic that can be used to control others into doing their bidding. Isaac Heller gave Cruella this power, so it's unknown if this is a unique magic in itself, or a part of witchcraft. The known practitioner(s) of Persuasion are:

Potioncraft

Potioncraft is a type of magic that involves the use of potions. From the Fourth Season onwards, Belle is never too far from a potion; she's given locator spells to the heroes, and keeps one that turns the victim into a frog in case a villain tries attacking her. Killian is shown to have kept a potion that enables his hook to take an enchanted heart. The known practitioners of Potioncraft are:

Rock Troll Magic

Rock Troll Magic is a type of magic that is used by Rock Trolls or anyone who uses an artifact by a Rock Troll. This magic can retrieve or erase memories from selected targets. The known practitioners of Rock Troll Magic are:

True Love

True Love is the most powerful and simple form of magic with capabilities of breaking curses through the act of true love's kiss. A True Love kiss requires mutual and unconditional affection from both parties. It is also able to reverse effects of any negative witchcraft. True love's kiss can also break the curse of being the Dark One, but doesn't have any effect in The Land Without Magic. A previous practitioner of witchcraft can gain this magic by opening their heart and loving another. Anyone born as a result of True Love is immune to having their hearts ripped out of their bodies, by an evildoer. The known practitioners of True Love are:

Witchcraft

Witchcraft is a form of magic that requires the user to be adept in using spell books and incantations. When used, witchcraft often gives away a pink or violet glow and at times will manifest as a puff of smoke, which can vary in colors, depending on the practitioner. Those who use witchcraft can perform telekinesis, teleportation, transformation spells (on one's self or others), spellcasting, casting protection spells, use of mirror magic, enchanting objects, ripping hearts out of people's bodies, performing healing spells, use of telepathy, and other miscellaneous stuff like creating and/or casting curses, performing pyrokinesis, spin straw into gold, magically torture someone, conducting apparition of objects, being summoned by name, absorption of a barrier spell, restoring dry lakes, control over plants, possession of people, accelerating pregnancies to full term, and aerokinesis. At times, the powers can be increased through means of another source, as Regina discovered after the Second Blind Witch in the Underworld received her expanded and stronger gifts from Hades.

Another way to gain these powers without any method of training is to become the host of the Darkness, and thus the Dark One. The known practitioners of Witchcraft are:

  • Amara
  • The Apprentice
  • Blind Witch #2
  • Cora
  • The Dragon
  • Emma Swan
  • Evil Queen/Regina Mills
  • Glinda
  • Hades
  • Ingrid
  • Isaac Heller
  • Jafar
  • Jabberwocky
  • Killian "Hook" Jones
  • Maleficent
  • Nimue
  • Peter Pan/Malcolm
  • Red Queen/Anastasia
  • Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold
  • The Sorcerer/Merlin
  • Trish
  • Ursula
  • Witch of the East
  • Witch of the North
  • Wicked Witch of the West/Zelena
  • Zoso

Magic Beans

Magic Beans are magical items grown by Giants. Atop a beanstalk in the Enchanted Forest, a race of giants live together in seclusion with no contact with the humans below. In the past, giants often grew magic beans and traded them with humans. However, this stopped once the giants learned the humans were selfishly using the beans to conquer and plunder other worlds. The smallest giant in the family, Anton, is very curious about humans and doesn't understand his brothers' enthusiasm for having beans that no one ever uses. One day, he climbs down the beanstalk to explore and becomes friends with two humans, Prince James and Jack. They tell him about the necessity of gold and treasures to keep the human kingdom afloat, and Anton goes back home to fetch some of the giants' treasures for them, but secretly, Prince James and Jack follow him up to lead an army to slaughter the giants and steal their magic beans. Only Anton manages to survive and destroy all of their growing beans so humans cannot have them. Before Anton's brother, Arlo, dies, he gives him a preserved budding from a stalk that can grow new beans.[24]

As a young child, Rumplestiltskin is frustrated by his father Malcolm's continued behavior as a liar and cheat, despite that he loves him very much. When he is given a magic bean by two spinsters, Rumplestiltskin shows it to his father as a way of escaping the Enchanted Forest and starting over as a family elsewhere. Malcolm settles on a place called Neverland, which he often visited in his boyhood dreams. They arrive in Neverland where Malcolm is giddy with excitement. He attempts to demonstrate a magical ability to fly in Neverland, but it doesn't work without pixie dust. In a desperate act of regaining his boyhood years, Malcolm abandons his son so he can become young and immortal.[25] When he reaches adulthood, Rumplestiltskin becomes renowned in the Enchanted Forest for both his dark powers and cruelty. His only son, Baelfire, becomes increasingly worried that the powers are corrupting his father. The Blue Fairy gives Baelfire the last magic bean in existence, which Baelfire later opens into a portal to a land without magic. Despite Rumplestiltskin's promise to his son, he backs out of their deal due to fear of losing his powers. He lets go of Baelfire's hand and watches him disappear into the closing portal alone.[26]

Years later, Rumplestiltskin meets in a tavern with William Smee, who claims he can retrieve a magic bean for him, but wants eternal life in return; Rumplestiltskin agrees to the deal. His estranged wife and her new lover Captain Killian Jones obtain the bean from Smee and use it in a deal for Rumplestiltskin to spare their lives. After Milah confesses to never loving Rumplestiltskin, he kills her. Hook refuses to part from the bean, so Rumplestiltskin cuts off his left hand containing the item. However, he later realizes he has been tricked as Jones had the bean in his other hand. Hook uses the bean to create a portal to take him and his crew to Neverland.[27]

After the second Dark Curse is cast, Hook looked for a magic bean to get to The Land Without Magic to give Emma the memory-restoring potion; he succeeded. When he told Emma of this, she points out that Magic Beans aren't easy to come by unless one has something of equal value to trade; shocking Emma, Hook reveals that he traded his beloved vessel, the Jolly Roger (which is the swiftest ship in all the realms), for a magic bean just for her sake.

In a deleted scene from "Heroes and Villains," Emma mentions that Anton said that the next bean harvest wouldn't be until spring.

Magic Books

There are many Magic Books that are used in this series where some of them are magical. Among the known books are:

Book of Spells

Regina first learns of the Book of Spells after she is unhappily engaged to be married to King Leopold on her mother Cora's insistence. She complains to her father, Henry, of her mother's strong hold, and he mentions something about a book a man gave her in the past that started her controlling nature. Regina steals the book, summoning Rumplestiltskin, who offers Regina help in getting away from her mother. With Cora gone, Regina returns the book to Rumplestiltskin with no other use for it. Rumplestiltskin informs her that she does not have to turn out like Cora even if she learns how to practice magic and have power.[28] Regina Mills later acquires the book in Storybrooke from Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin) to retrieve her son Henry after his grandfather David Nolan (Prince Charming) takes care of him.[28]

In Wonderland, Jafar owns another version of the Book of Spells. The cover on one of the spell books has the same design as Amara's spell book, indicating that Jafar took it after he transformed her into a serpent staff.

Great Book of Records

The Great Book of Records is a book in the Land of Oz that is possessed by Glinda. The Great Book of Records foretells of a powerful sorceress who will arrive in the Land of Oz by a tornado to join the sisterhood of witches and take the empty seat of Witch of the West. The other half of the prophecy also speaks of this witch unseating "the greatest evil the realm has ever seen", which the supposed Witch of the West named Zelena accidentally uncovers after a young girl named Dorothy arrives to Oz by a tornado. Fearing her place in the sisterhood will be usurped by Dorothy, Zelena fakes her own death and masquerades as the Wizard to deliberately lead the girl out of the Land of Oz.

Heroes and Villains Book

The Heroes and Villains book is a new story book produced by Mr. Gold at the end of "Mother." He has the Author Isaac Heller write new fates for the heroes and villains in it. However, as a result, history is twisted and sends everyone back to the Enchanted Forest. The roles have been reversed with the heroes now the villains and the villains living better lives. Examples include Regina and Snow White having the opposite roles, Rumplestiltskin being "the Light One," Hook being Blackbeard's cowardly deckhand, Lily being a servant of Snow White, and Robin Hood to be married to Zelena.

As Henry Mills was born in the Land Without Magic, he was left immune to the changes. He confronted Isaac, using the magic key to take them into a copy of "Heroes and Villains". He reunites with Emma, who was allowed her true memories as torture, and they attempt to have Regina share true love's kiss with Robin to break the book's spell. However, Henry is chosen as Isaac's replacement and uses Regina's blood to write away the false lives. After reality was restored, the book is now empty and all the other copies are now gone.

Maleficent's Spell Book

The Maleficent's Spell Book is an Enchanted Forest item. It appears in the fourteenth episode of the fourth season. The Evil Queen finds Maleficent's old spell book among her mother's things, and takes it with her as she journeys to the Forbidden Fortress to meet Maleficent.

Merlin's Books

The Merlin's Books is a Camelot item. It is a set of books owned by the sorcerer Merlin, which are kept inside his tower. They contain information about everything from Merlin's own spells to magical toadstools.

Once Upon a Time Book

The Once Upon a Time Book is a book of fairy tales depicting the lives of the characters which in turn are past reality. Its original origins are unknown (it is hinted that the Author in question could either be male or female), however, one day in the cursed town of Storybrooke, school teacher Mary Margaret Blanchard (Snow White) comes across the book in her apartment. She gives the book to her student, Henry Mills to give him hope as he struggles with belonging after being adopted.[29] From reading the book, Henry becomes convinced that the people in the town are the characters from the book. His adoptive mother Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) is so concerned she begins having him see a therapist, Dr. Archie Hopper (Jiminy Cricket). Despite this, Henry never gives up on his ideas, and one day travels to Boston to locate his birth mother, Emma Swan, who he believes is the "savior" of Storybrooke. Amidst driving Henry back to Storybrooke, Henry tells Emma his beliefs in the book and that she is in it herself.[30] Regina later reads through the book and notices the torn out pages, questioning Henry about it. In an effort to bond with Henry, Emma decides the two must burn the missing pages of the book so that Regina does not see them.[16]

After seeing a comatose John Doe (Prince Charming) in the hospital, Henry Mills shows Emma a picture of Prince Charming in his book and notes that they both have the same scar under their chins. He asks Mary Margaret to read to him and she agrees. While reading him Henry's story book, the man grabs her hand, eventually awakening to his cursed memories as David Nolan. Sheriff Graham (the Huntsman) has dreams of his past life so he visits Henry and asks him if he is in his book. Henry tells him the story of the Huntsman from the book. The book is later lost in a storm and Henry is distraught, though it is soon found by Emma in a puddle underneath her car. Unknown to her, this was all a ploy enacted by August Booth (Pinocchio) to convince her to believe in magic. Henry discovers the newly added story of Pinocchio and informs Emma, who is taken on a motorcycle ride with August to convince her she is the saviour of Storybrooke. Instead, she cannot handle the pressure and decides to leave the town with Henry, though she later returns him, deciding to leave alone. Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) attempts to poison Emma, realising Henry can never truly be hers if she is still alive. However, Henry discovers her plan and prove's the curse's reality to Emma by consuming it. The effect of the cursed apple causes him to fall into a deep sleep. Emma rushes Henry to the hospital and though she shows the apple turnover to Dr. Whale (Dr. Frankenstein), he does not believe it to be the cause of Henry's state. She empties Henry's backpack and discovers the book, which allows her to see the entire story of her parents placing her into the wardrobe, finally allowing her to believe in magic and the curse itself.[31]

Regina later talks with Sidney Glass where she wants him to use his Magic Mirror powers to find the writer of the Once Upon a Time book. Regina plans to use the writer of the Once Upon a Time Book so that the villains in the book to have their happy endings. Henry then joins in the search, even as going far as working at Gold's Pawn Shop to find out if his grandfather knows about the book, only to have Gold later tell Regina that he did not know who the author was. After Henry discovers a secret room in the mansion that contains blank books with covers, all similar to the storybook, Emma joins Henry and Regina in finding the author; unfortunately, it turns out Gold actually lied to Regina about knowing about the author and vows to use the person to change the outcome.

August later reveals that the Author is trapped inside Once Upon a Time, and the key to getting him out is the picture of the door keeping them trapped. Revealed in "Best Laid Plans", there have been many Authors over the eons (which may have even included Walt Disney himself) to record the Enchanted Forest's history. However, the current one, revealed to Disney's successor after his death in December 1966, Isaac Heller, was twisting the facts into stories that amused him despite the anguish he caused others by manipulating them. As punishment, the Apprentice trapped the Author in the book. Many years later, Emma made the mistake of unlocking the door and letting the "Last Author" out. Henry becomes the next author and breaks the magic quill so that no one will be able to manipulate it again.[32]

The Underworld has its own version of the Once Upon a Time Book, which has all the stories of people that have died. As part of a deal he previously made with Liam Jones, Hades forced him to tear out the pages that had his own past with Zelena in it. Unfortunately, the current Author, Henry Mills, rewrote the stories and finally gave everyone their unfinished businesses before he returned to Storybrooke.

Magic Carpet

The Magic Carpet is a type of carpet that can fly.

In Wonderland, Jafar owns a Magic Carpet which serves as his mode of transportation. When Alice's true love Cyrus is thrown from a cliff into the Boiling Sea by the Red Queen, she believes he perished. However, it is later revealed that Jafar caught him with a magic carpet to exact his mission onto Alice.

Magic Gauntlet

The Magic Gauntlet is a magical item that originated from Camelot, and ends up in the possession of Rumplestiltskin following his visit to Camelot. It is used to lead to one's greatest weakness and is briefly stolen by the Queens of Darkness to be used to defeat their greatest enemies (Isaac, who took Cruella's ability to kill; Captain Hook, who stole Ursula's singing voice; Snow White and Prince Charming, who accidentally banished Maleficent's daughter).

Following the deactivation of the Spell of Shattered Sight and Ingrid's defeat, Rumplestiltskin has Belle pack her bags and get ready for their real honeymoon outside of Storybrooke and to the city of New York. As she packs, Henry stops by the pawn shop and helps her look for another suitcase. When pulling one down, the boy accidentally knocks a bunch of other items off the shelf, startling Belle. As they go to pick everything up, she discovers the Magic Gauntlet which she thought Rumple traded for her long ago. After Henry leaves, Belle does some thinking and decides to test out the Magic Gauntlet to see what her husband's greatest weakness is. Instead of leading her to herself, it heartbreakingly lead her to the real Dark One's Dagger as she has been keeping a fake since they got married. Belle is able to stop Rumplestiltskin just as he is about to crush Hook's heart and cleave himself from the weapon once and for all.

It's later revealed to have belonged to Merlin. Gunievere attempted to use it to find the Dark One's dagger, ot ut an end to Arthur's madding quest. However, she traded it to Rumple in exchange for sands from Avalon.

Magic Globe

A Magic Globe is a magical item that uses a locator spell by means of the user pricking their finger on a needle attached to the top and spilling their blood onto the globe to create a map. By unknown means, Cora comes into possession of the globe, and gives it to Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin) in exchange for her daughter Regina's whereabouts. The globe indicates the location of New York as the current place Baelfire can be found. Mr. Gold persuades Emma to accompany and assist in the search in New York so she can finally fulfill her end of her owed debt to him. To the shock of both, Baelfire is Neal Cassidy, who is Emma's ex-boyfriend and biological father of Henry; making all four parties interrelated by blood to each other. After Henry Mills is kidnapped and taken through a portal by Greg Mendell and Tamara, Mr Gold locates him to Neverland. He then agrees to travel with Emma, her parents, Regina and Captain Hook to follow and retrieve him.

Magic Gloves

The Magic Gloves are special gloves belonging to Elsa. They originally belonged to her aunt Ingrid. These gloves when worn can keep ice magic from getting out of control, if the user has enough belief in their ability to do so. They were given to Ingrid by Rumplestiltskin. Despite seeming to discard them in her film, Elsa is shown to still hold onto them. After Elsa was released from an urn into Storybrooke, she discarded her gloves again. What becomes of them afterwards is unknown.

Magic Hats

The Magic Hats are a type of hat that has magical abilities. Among the known magic hats are:

Jefferson's Hat

Jefferson's Hat is a hat owned by Jefferson who can cross dimensions to other lands by opening portals inside it.

The Portal of Doors is a room in Jefferson's Hat where portals to various other lands are located. It is accessible to anyone who jumps into the hat. The room is circular and rounded with red curtains containing at least seventeen different doors. Some of known doors are:

Via his hat, Jefferson traveled to bring Dr. Victor Frankenstein from the Land Without Color to the Enchanted Forest so the doctor could make a deal with Rumplestiltskin. Eventually, he retires from his profession as portal-jumper and settles down as a mushroom seller with his daughter, Grace. He makes mention to the Evil Queen he stopped portal-jumping because that's how Grace lost her mother and doesn't want her to lose him, too. The Evil Queen asks for his assistance to travel to another land where she wants to steal something back which the Evil Queen of Hearts took from her. The rule of the hat is the amount of people who go into it must also be the same amount that come out. In fact, the thing the Evil Queen takes back from the Queen of Hearts is not an item, but a person—her father. Per the rule of the hat, only two who go in can leave. She traps Jefferson in the world while her father and herself leave to return home. Since then, Jefferson becomes obsessed with making hats to find the one that will work so he can go back home to his daughter.

The Evil Queen later used the hat and one of her guards to send Captain Hook to Wonderland to kill her mother Cora. Since Cora couldn't be killed, Captain Hook took Cora's body back to the Enchanted Forest while leaving the guard that accompanied him trapped in Wonderland.

David Nolan later tried to use Jefferson's Hat to get Emma Swan and Mary Margaret Blanchard back to Storybrooke only for it to be burned by Albert Spencer.

It's implied by Prince Charming that the Hat may have been magically repaired, given he listed Jefferson's Hat as a possibility of reaching The Land Without Magic (specifically in the area Storybrooke existed, where there IS magic) when they needed a way to reach Emma to fight the Wicked Witch.

Sorcerer's Hat

The Sorcerer's Hat is a pointed hat that when worn or used allows the owner to wield unlimited power. The stars on the hat represent beings of magic that have been imprisoned in it. The Sorcerer's Hat is kept in a box that can be opened by a person that isn't consumed by evil or darkness and is kept under the watchful eye of The Apprentice. When Zoso attempted to acquire the Sorcerer's Hat, he was defeated by a mysterious protection shield. The Apprentice then tells Zoso that the box cannot be opened by someone who has accepted darkness in their heart. Zoso vanishes and the Apprentice says that no Dark One will ever open the box.

The Sorcerer's Hat has become an obsession for Rumplestiltskin in the Enchanted Forest, as he used Anna in his quest to retrieve the item by having her kill the Apprentice (of which he later tricks Anna by admitting to having give her an antidote to save the Apprentice, who turned into a mouse), and in Storybooke, where (as his alias Mr. Gold) has the item in possession and has gone to great lengths to use it, with the Apprentice being his first victim by sending him into the hat's vortex. It is later discovered that Ingrid had the item in possession after taking it from Anna, believing that she was going to use it on Elsa. When Ingrid (now Sarah) in Storybrooke saw Gold with the Sorcerer's Hat, he told her that he has the leverage that she wanted.

Gold would later use the Sorcerer's Hat on Emma in order to take her powers away but was thwarted by Elsa before it could happen, which was followed by using it successfully on the fairies while they were trying to come up with a spell to stop The Snow Queen from enacting the Spell of Shattered Sight on Storybrooke. Gold hoped that by absorbing magic from others, this would free him of the Dark One's Dagger and escape Storybrooke. Just as he almost succeeded in doing so, Belle saw through his deception and used the dagger on him, which resulted in his exile from Storybrooke leaving behind the Sorcerer's Hat.

Due to Gold's manipulations, not only were the fairies released, but the powerful demon Chernabog as well. At that point, it was revealed that the hat could only suck in magical beings once. An annoyed Emma compared the hat's ability to trap magical beings to the chickenpox.

The Apprentice was let out of the hat by Mother Superior, right before the Heroes and Villains book changed history. When the timeline was repaired, the Apprentice removed the darkness poisoning Mr. Gold's heart and send it into the hat; however, it was too powerful to be contained and escaped, and it fatally wounded the Apprentice in an attempt to possess him, before being driven out by Emma's light magic. The stars on the box appeared to be swirling into a black vortex before the Darkness escaped. This could, perhaps, mean that the Darkness swallowed all the other magical beings trapped in the hat to increase its power.

Magic Mushroom

Magic Mushroom is a growth mushroom found in Wonderland that can increase or decrease the size of the person who eats it. After the Queen steals her father back from this world, she picks a piece of the mushroom and lets him eat it so he can grow back to normal size. In the same land, a woman named Jack once rescued people from a creature called the Jabberwocky and as thanks she received a magic mushroom. Later, she helps Anton the Giant shrink to human size by giving him the mushroom.

During Alice's travels in Wonderland, she steals a piece of the mushroom from the Caterpillar and uses to shrink herself and evade the Queen's guards in the maze. The Knave of Hearts once used the mushroom to shrink the Cheshire Cat back to his original size.

Hook later asked Will Scarlet for a potion derived from the mushrooms, to restore the Jolly Roger back to its former size; when Blackbeard attacked Arendelle, likely seeking the payment Hans promised, Elsa shrank the ship into a bottle, accidentally sweeping Ariel in with it.

Another magic mushroom, the Crimson Crown (also known as Vermiculus Coronam), was discovered in Camelot, which is key to freeing Merlin from his imprisoned tree, but King Arthur would hide the item after David acquired it; the item would later be discovered in Storybrooke once again by David.

Magic Ink

Magic Ink is a type of ink that when used with a magic quill, allows one make anything possible when it is written. However, it cannot bring back the dead if they died in another world or alter the events that take place in The Land Without Magic. Magic ink is bestowed upon the Author of Once Upon a Time, so they may record the events of different realms. However, the current user Isaac Heller began manipulating events and even writing a different book with happy endings in them for the villains. Magic Ink can only be given by the Sorcerer or created by mixing blood from the Savior/someone who has the Savior's darkness in them with the ink.

Seen in the Season Four finale, the ink can even alter history. It gave Snow White and Regina the other's role, turning the once pure-hearted princess into the new Evil Queen, while making Regina a kind person. Rumplestiltskin also never became the Dark One, but is instead a knight and happily together with Belle.

To create magic ink, the blood of a Savior, Dark or Light, must be added.

Magic Paper

The Magic Paper is a paper that can be magically animated and folded. Cyrus once used it to send a message to Alice that he is alive in Jafar's lair.

Magic Quill

The Magic Quill is a type of quill that is made from an Enchanted Tree and is used by the Authors. Combined with Magic Ink, the Magic Quill makes whatever is written happen.

Chosen to be the next Author by the Sorcerer and his Apprentice in 1966, Isaac begins recording stories. At some point after this, he travels to a world based on 1920s England looking for a good story. Using his Magic Quill, he can write anything into existence as long as it is recorded using a bottle of Magic Ink. Falling in love with a charming girl named Cruella, he explains his ability to her and proves it by using the quill to give her a necklace and earrings. Issac asks her to run away with him. As Cruella still fears her mother, Isaac gifts her the ability to control animals. Insisting that she confront her mother one last time, Cruella decides to go home as Isaac waits for her return. Sometime during this, Cruella secretly steals Isaac's Magic Quill (something he discovers only after Cruella's mother Madeline reveals her daughter's murderous persona to him). After Cruella kills Madeline, Isaac retrieves his Magic Quill and managing to dip it into the ink bottle. Before all the ink spills on Cruella (whose hair turns black and white from it), she corners him at gunpoint only for a fast-acting Isaac writes on paper that she can never kill again. Sometime after this incident, Isaac abuses his role as Author by manipulating the Apprentice into infusing Maleficent's child with darkness and banishing the baby to another realm. While Isaac is in the midst of writing in a storybook, the Apprentice confronts him about his meddling to which the Author casually remarks that it made for a better story. Deeming him corrupt and unworthy of being an Author, the Apprentice formally asks Isaac to forfeit the Magic Quill before banishing him into the book.

When Emma releases Isaac from the book, he escapes into the woods. There, he attempts to carve a new writing quill from a branch until Mr. Gold tells him that it won't have magic unless it's made from an enchanted tree. Mr. Gold insists he come with him, a suggestion Isaac spits on regarding the latter as the most troublesome person he's written about in the book. Upon seeing Mr. Gold has an actual Magic Quill, Isaac questions what he wants. Mr. Gold proposes he write him as well as other people happy endings which Isaac eventually agrees to. Unfortunately, Isaac used the chance to write the stories to alter the destiny of the characters involved because of his hatred for what he saw was good in the heroes.

Upon obtaining Magic Ink with Regina's help, Isaac wrote himself to appear besides Mr. Gold's side as he begins Mr. Gold's plot to write new endings for his "Heroes and Villains" book. When Henry takes Isaac's place as Author, he considers only one selfish desire - to bring back Neal Cassidy. However, after learning the book can't alter the Real World's events, Henry snaps the quill in half, declaring no-one should have that much power. However, the Apprentice tells Henry that's what makes him fit for the role. Hook is later left annoyed by this as it's exactly what the need to combat the Darkness.

In the Underworld, Cruella explains that the Apprentice lied to Henry to make sure he wouldn't attempt to warp reality like Isaac had done. As Henry broke it, the Magic Quill and its powers were sent to the Underworld, and thus have unfinished business. Cruella persuades Henry to try finding the quill and using it to resurrect her. However, though the Apprentice's urging, Henry instead decides to rewrite Hades' story which was torn out of the Underworld Once Upon a Time Book by Liam under Hades' orders. The powers of the quill allow Henry to receive images of stories in his dreams.

Henry likely took the quill back to Storybrooke, to continue his role ad Author; possibly to ensure he had a successor.

Magic Rose

Needing Belle to focus on helping the others in their quest to find Emma, Mother Superior conjures a Magic Rose in a jar, which is linked to Mr. Gold's life-force. So long as Mr. Gold is a live, petals will remain on the flower. Once all the petals are gone, his life has ended. Thanks to Emma, Gold is revived and the rose restored; however, she needs his now "blank slate" heart as part of her plan to draw Excalibur.

Magic Ribbons

The Magic Ribbons belonged to the three Arendelle princesses Ingrid, Helga and Gerda find a punctured kite in a tree and become enamored by the yellow ribbons on it. Ingrid, manifesting powerful ice magic, is reassured by her sisters that they will protect her secret. They then make a pact, with each tying a ribbon on their left wrist, to solidify the strength of their sisterhood. Years later, the trio are grown up, but Ingrid still fears she will be a detriment to her sisters' lives if the kingdom finds out about her powers. As a solution, they travel to the Enchanted Forest and bargain with Rumplestiltskin so Ingrid can control her powers. In exchange for their three ribbons, he will give Ingrid magic concealing gloves and an urn to seal herself if she ever becomes too dangerous.

With the casting of the first curse, Rumplestiltskin gains a new life as the pawnshop owner Mr. Gold. The three ribbons are some of the many relics that carry over from his former life and remain in his possession.

As her plan to make Elsa and Emma her sisters comes into fruition, Ingrid asks for the three ribbons from Mr. Gold, and for his benefit, she tells him the last thing he needs to be free of the dagger's control. Regaining the ribbons, she intends to put them on Elsa and Emma's wrists after they learn to accept their magic powers. Mr. Gold unintentionally speeds this scheme along by attempting to trick Emma, who desires to be rid of her magic, into giving up her powers to the hat. Elsa encourages Emma to accept magic as part of herself, and she too learns to do the same. Following this, the ribbons manifest on their left wrists and begin harnessing their powers, which then gathers in Ingrid's own ribbon. Finally, Ingrid shatters her mirror with the ribbon's combined magic and casts the spell of shattered sight. When Ingrid's curse commences, Elsa and Emma remain immune, due to the ribbons' power, while the spell's mirror shards ultimately turn other people against each other. Since conventional means couldn't break the ribbons, due to Ingrid's love for Emma and Elsa, they had to use an equal power magical hatred from Regina (whose inner darkness was released by the spell) to destroy the ribbons.

Magic Slippers

Magic Slippers are an item of footwear owned by the Wizard of Oz. It is noted that the Magic Slippers are based on the silver shoes from the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Likely to avoid being too much alike to the film, the slippers are silver instead.

As a young woman, Zelena's adopted father becomes frustrated at her powers and informs her that they are not her real parents, following her adopted mother's death. She decides to visit the Wizard of Oz to find her real upbringing. The Wizard of Oz tells her of her back story and of her half-sister Regina who was favored over Zelena to be Queen. Enraged, Zelena demands to go the land and the Wizard transports her there by means of the Silver Slippers. In Regina's castle, she meets Rumplestiltskin who trains her after she reveals her relations. Rumplestiltskin informs Zelena that she is unwanted to him as the heart of the thing she loves most (Rumplestiltskin himself) is needed to enact his curse; Regina is favorable as she hates him. Zelena leaves, telling Rumple that he blew his only chance to get to the Land Without Magic with the slippers. While posing as the Wizard of Oz, Zelena gave them to Dorothy Gale so that she can return to Kansas.

Some time later, Rumplestiltskin is seen in a conversation with Jefferson discussing the Magic Slippers. When Rumplestiltskin wishes to find the item, Jefferson informs him that the Magic Slippers have been "moved to another land."

Dorothy uses them to return to OZ in order to stop Zelena, but is humiliated. When Zelena goes to the Enchanted Forest to ruin Regina's life, Dorothy hides the slippers. However, once Zelena is banished back to OZ by Regina, she finds them to return to Storybooke. Zelena attempts to leave the Underworld with the slippers, but is coerced by Regina to give them to Ruby.

Magic Staffs

There are different Magic Staffs that are used in this franchise.

Cora's Staff

Cora's Staff is a magical staff that is used by Cora to create a shield around a part of the kingdom of the Enchanted Forest to be protected from the Dark Curse.

Maleficent's Staff

Maleficent's Staff is a dragon-headed staff that is used by Maleficent. It can be used to cast spells, absorb fires, and block physical attacks. She rarely uses it in Storybrooke, the most notable instance was in the episode "Best Laid Plans", when she put the whole of Storybrooke habitants under a sleeping curse.

Maleficent's staff is one of the most expensive single items (props which aren't duplicated) made for the show.[33] For the show, the dragon head on Maleficent's staff was made from scratch while the orb embedded in the middle was originally a simple acrylic bowl. The staff handle's oddly bent shape was a deliberate touch to make the item stand out.[34] Charron Studios in Burnaby, British Columbia were tasked with carving the dragon, and also cast the glass ball on top. It took them dozens of tries to get the right color scheme for the inside of the orb. The wood came from a branch twisted naturally into spirals.[33]

Serpent Staff

The Serpent Staff is owned by Jafar in Wonderland. In his quest for revenge on the Sultan, Jafar casts a spell on his teacher of dark magic Amara which transforms her into a snake-shaped staff after she was turned into a snake. He, therefore, gains all the power of his master and uses the staff as his companion for various purposes that control his magic. So long as he held the Serpent Staff, Jafar could perform any spell that required two wizards.

Following a hint from the Jabberwocky, Alice, Will, and Cyrus learned how to free Amara from her staff form.

Magical Seashell

The Magical Seashell is a seashell enchanted by the sea god Poseidon to steal the singing voice of his daughter, Ursula. He attempted to persuade Captain Hook into stealing Ursula's singing voice in exchange for squid ink to paralyze Rumplestiltskin. However, as a result of a triple cross between the two of them and Ursula, Hook did seal her singing voice inside it and kept with him for years. Poseidon later undoes the spell, earning forgiveness from his daughter; they both return home.

Magic Urn

The Magic Urn is a magical object used to imprison beings with some kind of magic. In the Enchanted Forest of the past, it belonged to Rumplestiltskin for a short time, after a deal made with Ingrid/Snow Queen, he gave the urn to her. Later, Ingrid is trapped in the urn by his sister Gerda, after killing his other sister Helga. After many years trapped in the urn, Ingrid is released by Prince Hans. Shortly thereafter, Elsa is trapped in the urn by Anna and remains in urn for 30 years until it was accidentally brought to the future by Emma and Hook, after they travel to the past through the time portal created by Zelena. When Elsa arrives to Storybrooke, she breaks free from the urn and immediately destroys it with her magic.

Mr. Gold acquired the remains of the urn and used them to temporarily trap Ingrid to enact his own schemes.

Magic Wardrobe

The Magic Wardrobe is a small arched cupboard made of enchanted wood, carved by Geppetto. It was made for Snow White and Prince Charming to escape the Evil Queen's curse. Rumplestiltskin tells the two that the only person who can save them in twenty-eight years time is their unborn child. The Blue Fairy asks wood carver Geppetto to make a wardrobe out of the last enchanted tree in the land. When she explains about the curse and the wardrobe's properties of protecting two people from it, Geppetto is concerned about his son Pinocchio's safety. He requests that Pinocchio be one of two who will go through the wardrobe. Reluctantly, the Blue Fairy agrees. Later, she presents the tree to Prince Charming and Show White, but lies and states the wardrobe can only protect only one person from the curse. Geppetto and Pinocchio work on carving the wardrobe as it is decided Snow White, while she is still pregnant, will go through it when the curse is cast. Problematically, Snow White gives birth early on the same day the curse begins to spread and gives birth to a daughter, Emma. The Blue Fairy retracts her previous deal with Geppetto and asks him to let Snow White and Emma be together once they are protected from the curse. After she leaves, he disregards her instructions and places Pinocchio into the wardrobe. Geppetto instructs his son to watch over Emma in the new world. Afterwards, Prince Charming places Emma into the wardrobe and she is successfully transported from the wardrobe into the woods where Pinocchio picks her up from inside the hollow of the tree. Pinocchio takes her into a diner and the two of them are placed in the same foster care home (though he later abandons her to grow up alone).

After the Dark Curse is broken, a mishap in sending a wraith through a vortex in the hat causes Emma to be pulled in as Mary Margaret follows her. Eventually, they end up in an untouched part of the Enchanted Forest and arrive inside the old royal castle where the magic wardrobe is still intact from the day the curse was cast. Mary Margaret suggests taking the wardrobe with them, though Lancelot appears and offers help. Suspiciously, Mary Margaret realises this person is not Lancelot when he speaks of Henry, which was never previously brought up to anyone in the Enchanted Forest except Cora. Cora reveals herself and attempts to gain control over the wardrobe, though Emma is forced to burn it. Cora materializes back into the room to collect the ashes when the two leave, which unbeknownst to anyone else except her, can still be used to make a portal. Cora then teams up with Hook to steal a magic compass from Emma. They head to Lake Nostos to pour the ashes of the wardrobe in, which creates an open portal. They prepare to travel back, though they are defeated by Emma and Mary Margaret who successfully jump into the lake back to Storybrooke.[15]

Medallion

The Medallion is an amulet that is owned by a cloaked creature called a Wraith. In Storybrooke, Mr. Gold seeks vengeance against Regina for abducting Belle and telling him she had died. Despite swearing on Belle's request that he would not kill Regina, he brands her with the medallion, marking her for death and summonning the wraith to hunt down his prey. The wraith is almost successful in taking Regina's soul, but is interrupted by Emma, Mary Margaret, and David who send it through a portal using Jefferson's hat. However, Emma and Mary Margaret are also taken with it.[2]

The Wraith is transported to the remains of the Enchanted Forest. Prince Phillip and his companion, Mulan, arrive at the ruined palace, and he is able to use true love's kiss to awaken Aurora, but are attacked by the wraith. Prince Phillip attacks the creature, causing the medallion to fall into his hand, thus marking him as the Wraith's next victim. Phillip tells Aurora he is going to look for fire-wood, knowing he will never return to allow the wraith to take his soul. Later, Mulan and Aurora realize he has been marked and find him. Mulan suggests she be given the medallion so she can mark herself and have her soul taken in his place, thus saving Phillip from his fate. He refuses, and allows the Wraith to suck out his soul while Aurora and Mulan look on in horror. After taking Phillip's soul, the Wraith goes back into the medallion. Aurora and Mulan pay their last farewell tribute to Phillip, and the medallion is given to Aurora by Mulan.[2]

After Phillip was revived, Aurora likely discarded the medallion to prevent the Wraith from returning.

Memory Stones

The Memory Stones is an Arendelle item. They are crystals that can be used to remove, store and return other people's memories.

Mirror of Souls

The Mirror of Souls is a magical mirror. If somebody has evil in their soul, it will be revealed in the mirror's gaze, in which the person's eyes will glow with demonic fire. The mirror was located about an hour's ride away from Belle's castle, and she eventually recovers it. Later, through the mirror's reflection, Belle discovers that Gaston has evil in his soul.

Mr. Gold's Cane

Mr. Gold's Cane is a cane owned by Mr. Gold. After the Dark Curse was cast, Rumplestiltskin arrived in the Land Without Magic under a new identity. Without magic, the new Mr. Gold was forced to rely on his cane to help walk, just like his previous self's walking stick prior to becoming the Dark One. In "Skin Deep", he used it to beat Moe French nearly to death after he becomes infuriated at the memory of Regina's lie about Belle's fate. In Season 3, Mr. Gold discarded the cane to part with his past self, having decided to follow the path of good; as Storybrooke had magic, he could walk without the cane now.

After being temporarily banished from Storybrooke in "Heroes and Villains", Mr. Gold acquired a new cane through unknown means, he latter tossed aside when Cruella and Ursula helped him back inside in "Darkness on the Edge of Town". After being brought out of his coma by the Dark Swan, Gold now uses a walking stick as he no longer has magic to help with his limp. Though an act of sarcastic charity from Hook as his time as Dark One, Gold's injury is permanently healed.

N

Nightroot

Nightroot is a plant which is sought after for its apparent ability to remove its seeker's fear. However, consuming the substance in fact creates a doppelgänger-based fear spirit who represents all of the person's worst fears. A young woman named Rapunzel becomes trapped in a large tower for many years, after she searched for the plant to remove her fears of becoming Queen after her brother's death. After David (Prince Charming) begins to fear that he will not make a good father to his and Mary Margaret (Snow White)'s baby, Robin Hood tells him where to find night-root. He then climbs the tower and eventually helps Rapunzel face her fears by facing what truly scares her: herself. Presented with her own doppelganger, she is encouraged by David and cuts off parts of her long hair, killing the figure and allowing her freedom.[35]

When in Storybrooke, Zelena (the Wicked Witch of the West) had used Rumplestiltskin's blood to steal a Nightroot from the safe in his shop and used it to spike David's tea. While looking for the Wicked Witch of the West, David ended up encountering the fear spirit and ends up in battle with it which resulting in David's sword ending up broken. When David does admit his fear, he uses the hilt of his sword to defeat the fear spirit.

P

Pandora's Box

Pandora's Box is a magical item containing the world's darkest evil. In Storybrooke, Pandora's Box is one of the numerous items found in Mr. Gold's pawn shop. He originally enchanted the box's hiding place that can only be triggered when the chipped cup is placed back into its saucer in the cupboard. After Mr. Gold goes to Neverland to save Henry, he and Regina form a plan to retrieve the box to defeat the sinister Peter Pan. Regina enlists the mermaid Ariel to retrieve the item from Storybrooke, though upon arrival in the town, she and Belle are stopped by John and Michael Darling, who are carrying out Pan's tasks to save their sister, Wendy. The two men then take the box to destroy it in the mines using a dwarf axe. Belle and Ariel stop them just before it is destroyed, and the men explain their reasoning behind following Pan. Belle promises them the box is the key to destroying Pan for good so Wendy can be free, to which they agree with the plan. Ariel swims back to Neverland and delivers the box to Mr. Gold.[5]

Back in Neverland, Pan attempts a heartfelt father-to-son conversation with Mr. Gold to affirm he does indeed care for him. He asks Mr. Gold to choose him instead so they can start over, but this is met with refusal. Mr. Gold motions to use Pandora's Box, but Pan pulls out an identical replica. It is revealed Pan is in possession of the real box while the other is a fake; he opens the box and successfully contains Mr. Gold within it. Pan succeeds in gaining Henry's heart and becomes immortal. Regina later returns Henry's heart to his body and also steals the box back. They leave to board the Jolly Roger for Storybrooke, after Neal releases Mr. Gold from the box, then trapping Pan inside when he catches him attempting to rip out Henry's shadow. He is however unaware that Pan switched bodies with Henry before being trapped. After a safe arrival to Storybrooke, Mr. Gold seals the box in his pawnshop to prevent Pan from ever escaping. Believing Henry is not himself, Emma and her parents track down Mr. Gold so he can give them box. An armed Emma enlists Mr. Gold to open the box, to a puzzled Henry who finds himself in Pan's body. Henry shares intimate details of his and Emma's relationship to prove his true identity and the two reconcile.[36]

In the Underworld, Pan gave Gold a Pandora's Box as part of a exchange to help save Belle and her unborn child while Gold find a heart for Pan. Unfortunately after Hades opens the portal to take everyone back to Storybrooke Gold tricked his father by switching the heart he took from Robin Hood with a bag of water from the River of Lost Souls and had him killed, as he only wanted the box. Gold then sarcastically tells his papa that "villains don't get happy endings."

Pendants of the Sisterhood

In the Land of Oz, the four witches (North, South, East and West) each have a Pendant of the Sisterhood in their possession. These pendants harness, protect and grow the witch's power. When Zelena asks Glinda if it will make the wearer stronger, She replies than you can possibly imagine". However, if the pendants are removed, the witches become powerless. The gem in the pendant is normally clear to represent purity. However, Zelena's turned green when her envy finally managed to win over her desire to be good.

When Mr. Gold attempts killing Zelena, her life-force was freed after the fatal blow; it fled back to her pendant, releasing her magic and completing the time travel spell. It appears that if this is done, the Pendant's wearer regains back all their magic, since Zelena was able to regenerate her body and kill Marian, before "taking her place" with a glamour spell, within the short time that Hook and Emma were distracted. During the episode "Mother", Regina even states she put the magic-canceling bracelet on Zelena to prevent spell-casting. Zelena even implies that her magic is back. In "The Dark Swan" Zelena proves this, by cutting off her hand to remove the magic-canceling bracelet, and magically reattaches her hand.

Pixie Dust

Pixie Dust is a greatly more powerful version of Fairy Dust. It is capable of granting flight to the user if they believe, and the ability to find a soulmate for a person in need of love. David Nolan/Prince Charming once described the potenecy as "nuclear fairy dust."

It can either be highly refined from Fairy Dust or retrieved from the trees of Neverland. When Pan's youth was close to expiring, the trees no longer had any Pixie Dust; likely his breaking of Neverland's rules of only visiting in dreams caused too much strain on the world to continue production of it.

Poisoned Apple

A Poisoned Apple is an item of fruit infused with poison, typically to be given to a victim to consume. Maleficent creates a sleeping curse to use on her enemy Sleeping Beauty, and Regina obtains the Dark Curse from Rumplestiltskin....sometime after the two trade their respective curses. The apple has the sleeping curse placed within so that if someone willingly bites into it, they will fall into a deep sleep while their body is their tomb and they are tormented by their regrets, all the while appearing to be dead. However, the Evil Queen is unaware that, as with all curses, it can be broken by true love's kiss. At some point, the apple comes into the possession of the Blind Witch and the Evil Queen sends Hansel and Gretel to retrieve it in exchange for the whereabouts of their father, the Woodcutter.[37] The Evil Queen later offers the cursed apple to Snow White, who willingly bites into it, fully aware of the consequences in order to save the life of her true love, Prince Charming. Moments after Snow White bites the apple, she collapses and drops the apple. As it rolls away, it falls into a portal Jefferson has created in present-day Storybrooke.[22] Prince Charming breaks the sleeping curse and awakens Snow White from her slumber.[31]

In Storybrooke, Regina Mills contracts Jefferson to fetch the apple with his hat. After retrieving the apple, the apple is made into an apple turnover by Regina who offers it to an accepting Emma, who is unaware of the turnover's magical powers. Henry takes a bite the turnover to prove to Emma the curse's reality.[22] Once again, the sleeping curse is broken by true love's kiss from Emma to Henry.[31] However, because the apple was eaten in The Land Without Magic, it didn't simply send Henry into a coma; he very nearly died as a result of the instability magic has there.

Poppy Dust

Poppy Dust is a magical substance made from ground poppies. When Emma Swan, Mary Margaret, Princess Aurora, Mulan and Hook search for a beanstalk in the Enchanted Forest, they use poppy dust to knock the giant out and retrieve a magical compass to return Emma and Mary Margaret to Storybrooke. Mulan later grinds more poppies to place Mary Margaret into a deep sleep to communicate with David (Prince Charming) in the Netherworld.

In a later journey to Neverland to rescue a kidnapped Henry, Tinker Bell approaches Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) about their troubled past. Angry at Regina's betrayal, Tinker Bell blows poppy dust in Regina's face, leading her to temporarily fall unconscious.[38]

Snow White and Prince Charming later used some to knock out Ursula and Cruella, who were keeping guard outside the cave Maleficent had given birth in.

Potion

A Potion is a magical substance used for various reasons and typically in a liquid form. Some known potions include:

Locator Potion

The Locator Potion is used for pouring on any varieties of items can enchanted to locate rightful owner. Zelena later explains that other possessions belonging to someone can be found with something else they owned; she stole the bow King Furgus gave to Merida to find the enchanted helm given to him by the DuBrunch witch,

Memory Potion

The Memory Potion can either restore or remove recollections of a point in time one has experienced. Snow White once drank a potion that made her become darker and meaner by forgetting her love of Prince Charming. However, he was able to cancel its effects by helping Snow remember her true self. Knowing the Dark Curse was being enacted, Zelena "spiced it up" by adding a potion as an extra ingredient to erase the last year from everyone's memory. She later created an antidote to the potion, taking some herself before giving the rest to Rumplestlitskin. However, Neal briefly separated from his father to send the potion to Captain Hook with a message to have Emma drink the potion to restore her true memories, and return to Storybrooke to defeat Zelena.

Mr. Gold created a special variety of Memory Potion, which enchants an object held dear to the user; it would allow one who was victim of the first Dark Curse to retain memory of their Enchanted Forest identity so long as they kept the item on their person. Having the item off their person would cause disorientation as their memory began to distort back its cursed state; in order to pass through the x-ray machine at the airport, Mr. Gold needed to temporarily remove the shawl he enchanted. Passing through, he seemed about to fall over from dizziness until Emma placed the shawl back on him.

It would seem one needs to be a skilled practitioner of magic in order to create a memory-restoring potion. Zelena created one without a problem, but Regina had an incredibly hard time trying to recreate it claiming that she "must have missed something" when her attempt failed. However, in "Mother", Regina seems to have gotten better as she had a forggetting potion that would erase Roland's memories of Zelena's time posing as Marian.

In the Underworld, there is the River of Forgetfulness. It empties into a creak in Underbrooke, and behind the Henry and Cora's mansion. Cora used it to wipe Regina and Zelena's memories of ever meeting and being true sisters. In the Underworld, she attempts to erase Zelena's love for Hades, but is found out and stopped.

Tracker Potion

A Tracker Potion is used to find someone, often when conventional means cannot produce results; it must be poured on an item owned by the person one seeks. Once the potion has soaked into the item, it will levitate, leading the user to the person they seek. David Nolan acquired one from Mr. Gold, in order to find Jefferson; Mary Margaret and Emma had fallen through the Hat, and he wanted to get the portal working again. While impersonating Ariel, Zelena used Eric's cloak, which sunk into the water as he was with the real Ariel on an island in the Enchanted Forest. Using the Author's flask, David and Mary Margaret track him down, only to learn too late that Emma was going to be turned dark.

Mr. Gold might have used this on the Apprentice's broom, to find him; however, it came to life rather than levitate.

Transformation Potion

A Transformation Potion causes the drinker to take a new form. During the course of the series, it hasn't been used for benevolent purposes. Given that Rumplestiltskin brewed them, it would make sense.

The first one was given to Jimmy Cricket, who was to get his parents to drink it and be turned into puppets. Being con artists, they saw through this and poisoned Geppetto's parents with it.

Another Transformeration Potion turned the Apprentice into mouse. Anna was supposed to give him the antidote, but Rumplestiltskin tricked her into thinking that it was poison, which she didn't give him.

Belle has been seen to keep one on her in case villains try something - "One wrong move, and you'll be hopping out of here as frogs."

In order to make Mr. Gold a hero in order to free Excalibur from the stone, Emma's Dark One appearance had Merida drink a potion that transformed her into a bear.

True Love Potion

The True Love Potion is a type of potion which Mr. Gold/Rumplstlitskin claims to be powerful enough to allow the user to do anything. He created one from the strands of hair of Snow White and Prince Charming; he later dropped into the Storybrooke wishing well, bringing magic to the town for the rest of the series. True Love can also exist as a form of light magic, not just a potion; Emma has this magic since she was a product of Snow White and Prince Charming's love, and Regina's love for Henry and Robin Hood allowed her the use of light magic against Zelena.

Protective Necklace

The Protective Necklace is a magical item used to protect the wearer in the Netherworld.

Mr. Gold gives Henry a magical necklace that will help him control his nightmares and explains that he is being transported to a dimension between worlds, a side effect left by the sleeping potion.

Purple Gem Necklace

The The Purple Gem Necklace is a magical necklace from Camelot.

It was given to Regina by Percival who claimed it was a gift from King Arthur, when in reality, Percival used it to spy on her.

R

River of Lost Souls

The River of Lost Souls is a dreadful liquid that exists in the Underworld. It the one of the five rivers under Hades' platform; the green river. If someone falls into it, they become emptied of who they are and become "lost". It flows into the Underbrooke harbor. Even an item laced with this stuff will have the same effect. If consumed, it turns the person into a puddle of water. Gold later uses a heart-shaped bag to poison Peter Pan with it, dissolving him into green vapor.

Round Table

The Round Table is a Camelot item. It first appears in the second episode of the fifth season. This is the legendary table which seats the Knights chosen by King Arthur.

S

Sand Clock

The Sand Clock is a Neverland item. It is a giant hourglass inside Skull Rock created when Peter Pan made the decision to stay in Neverland. The hour glass represents the magic fueling Pan's youth. Once the sand runs out, Pan will die, unless he finds another way to preserve his youth.

Sands of Avalon

The Sand of Avalon are special sands that were taken from the shores of the magical isle of Avalon. They can make what is broken appear whole.

Rumplestiltskin traded a vial of the sand to Guinevere in exchange for Merlin's Gauntlet; she planned on using this to make Excalibur appear whole without the Dark One's dagger. However, Arthur (having been driven insane by his quest to complete Excalibur) used it to brainwash his wife and create Camelot's castle. He later used this to brainwash David and Mary Margaret. However, extremely powerful users of magic can undo the effects of the sand, as Merlin reversed the effects of the sand on David and Mary Margaret.

Scroll of the Dark Curse

The Scroll of the Dark Curse is a scroll that details how to enact the Dark Curse.

It was kept in Bald Mountain and guarded by Chernabog. Thus it would have been a fool's errand for any single person to attempt. Rumplestiltskin maniuplated the Queens of Darkness in order to bypass Chernabog. It states that the ingredients included a lock of hair from those with the darkest of souls and the heart of "the thing that you love most" while Rumplestiltskin threw in a True Love Potion in the first casting of it. Due to this curse, all words and realms froze in time for twenty-eight years while majority of the Enchanted Forest inhabitants ended up in the Real World. Nobody aged in Storybrooke nor the other worlds within the Land With Magic.

The punishment for attempting to leave Storybrooke varies over the seasons, ranging from accidents/loved ones suffering, memory loss, being turned into a flying monkey, an ice wall surrounding the town, never being allowed to return without the Apprentice's Scroll, and finally being turned into a tree.

The destruction of the scroll will undo the Dark Curse's lingering effects by wiping out Storybrooke and returning anyone not born in the Land Without Magic to their respective realms. This even includes Emma, Neal and Hook (despite using different magical means to arrive in the Land Without Magic). Henry is excluded because Emma gave birth to him in this world and not the Enchanted Forest. As the Savior, Emma was able to escape the curse and stay in "our world" with Henry. Additionally, Alexandra, who was born in the Real World also returned to her original land. This is due to her being born in Storybrooke, where the inhabitants and location itself does not belong in the Real World.

"Operation Mongoose" shows Henry as the only person in Storybrooke after Isaac traps everyone else in the "Heroes and Villains" book; not even babies Neal, Alexandria and Phillip Jr. were around, despite being born in "our world". This suggests that conception must also take place in "our world" for a life born there to be unaffected.

There's a loophole for Dark Ones. Current Dark Ones don't have to kill what they love most if what a previous Dark One loved is still around. They can crush its hearts instead.

Shepherd's Crook

A Shepherd's Crook is a device used by the warlord Bo Peep (or "extortionist" as David called her) in which has the ability to magically brand humans who do not meet payments or threaten her by turning them into slaves (or as she puts it "Sheeple"). The device is almost used on Anna in the Enchanted Forest.

In Storybrooke where Bo Peep is revealed to now be a butcher, Hook and David finds it and uses the Crook to detect Anna's whereabouts.

Six Leaf Clover

The Six Leaf Clover is a magical item found only in the land of Oz, this magical item allows the user to take on the appearance of their choice. However, as previously stated, only how one appears is changed; the reflection remains unchanged, and thus if too many mirrors are around, the disguise is in danger of being discovered. One theory among fans is that Ingrid saw Zelena's reflection and put the freezing spell in her ice cream cone for the safety of Emma; though for a selfish reason, this would have protected other from the Wicked Witch's insanity.

Robin Hood acquired one during his visit to Oz, so as to avoid the wrath of Rumplestiltskin for going back on their deal; it came in handy when he needed to steal a fairy's wand from him to cure a pregnant Marian. Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West, also possesses one. After sending Emma and Hook into the past, she uses it to pose as Marian. From there, she uses the assumed identity to push and torment her sister by reminding her of her past as the Evil Queen. Afterward, she used the identity to become pregnant with Robin's child, only to later drop the disguise.

Zelena later used it to help the transport tornado home in on OZ, so she could return to a realm where she was free to do as she pleased. However, Regina redirected the spell using Emma's baby blanket.

Skeleton Keys

Skeleton Keys are a set of skull-like keys belonging to Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) to open various locations in Storybrooke including a crypt that leads to her vault where she keeps a collection of hearts mimicking her collection from the Enchanted Forest. She uses these keys to withdraw Sheriff Graham's heart when he breaks up with her. She later breaks into the house of David (Price Charming) and Kathryn Nolan (Princess Abigail)'s house to steal a letter that Kathryn left David, telling him she would be leaving the town. This is the start of Regina's plan to implicate Mary Margaret (Snow White) in the disappearance of Kathryn. Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin) later suggests to Regina placing a skeleton key in Mary Margaret's jail cell after she is arrested, to which she uses to escape. Henry steals the skeleton keys, proving to Emma that Regina broke into their apartment to plant a knife.

Upset that Regina broke her deal with him to assist him in getting his daughter back after he helped her retrieve an item from his hat, Jefferson uses Regina's keys to the asylum cells, and unlocks Belle to find Mr. Gold and tell him that Regina had been holding her prisoner.[31]

August/Pinocchio later added a new lock (a simple bar to keep the door from moving) to Mary Margaret's door, to keep Regina out. This proved ineffective once magic was brought to Storybrooke, as Regina could move it out of the way.

Spinning Wheel

A Spinning Wheel is an item belonging to Rumplestiltskin, who has had the ability to spin since he was a child and was abandoned by his father. Years later, Rumplestiltskin's son Baelfire was a child during the Ogre Wars. The wheel appeared in his small home where they lived together and again, later, in the main room of his grand estate house where he held Belle captive. He also teaches a young Cora to spin straw into gold to marry Prince Leopold. He tells her to think of a moment where she was humiliated and use that to motivate her. When asked what moment he chooses, Rumplestiltskin tells of his humiliation of a King's Duke where he made him kiss his boot. Cora chooses the moment when a young Queen Eva trips her whilst delivering straw to the noble court and being forced to apologize. Cora names the technique "blood-lust" to which Rumplestiltskin approves.[13] Rumplestiltskin is periodically depicted sitting at his wheel and spinning, lost in thought, claiming it helps him to forget.

His wheel is also featured in Storybrooke. One night, Belle finds Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin) spinning his wheel and making potions. David (Prince Charming)'s voluntary submission to a sleeping curse to reach Mary Margaret (Snow White) in the Netherworld is enacted by him pricking his finger on the spinning wheel's spindle, which Gold refers to as "the old-fashioned way".

Cora is also seen by Mary Margaret and Regina with the Spinning Wheel in a spirit form within an enclosed room after Mary Margaret, David, Emma Swan, Captain Hook, and her daughter Regina Mills attempt to make communication with her.

Squid Ink

Squid Ink is a magical substance used to prevent magic found in a bottomless sea and taken from the rarest squid. It can be obtained via a mermaid or the Dark One.

When Cinderella realizes she has been tricked into her happy life by unknowingly agreeing to give Rumplestiltskin her first born child, the Blue Fairy gives Cinderella a quill that will freeze Rumplestiltskin. With the quill and ink, Cinderella tricks Rumplestiltskin into signing a new fake contract which leads to his being imprisoned.[39] Secretly, Rumplestiltskin takes a jar of squid ink with him to his prison. Upon learning the name of Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter, he inscribes her name on parchment multiple times to remember if he loses his memories after the curse takes hold.[15]

At some point, Captain Hook learned from King Poseidon that Squid Ink can be used on Rumplestiltskin.

In Storybrooke, Henry has dreams of being in the Netherworld due to recently waking up from the sleeping curse. In this world, he meets Princess Aurora, who informs Henry that Emma and Mary Margaret are safe in the Enchanted Forest, but need to stop the Evil Queen's mother Cora. Mr. Gold tells Henry to pass on information that tells the group to find his squid ink in his cell to stop Cora. The group arrive at the cell, but are trapped by Cora. Mary Margaret remembers Cora practicing magic from her spell book and a certain way she used to make the magical substance appear. Demonstrating, Mary Margaret blows the ink from the parchment, which forms a cloud, and the enchanted metal bars disintegrate; allowing for their escape.[15]

Mr. Gold and Neal later use ink from a giant squid that lurked in the waters near Neverland in order to paralyze Peter Pan.

Straw Doll

The Straw Doll (also known as Peter Pan) is a small figure owned by a young Rumplestiltskin, who was given it by his father Malcolm as a friend to keep him company. Troubled by his father's notorious reputation as a coward and liar, Rumplestiltskin acquires a magic bean to take both of them to another world. Leaving the Enchanted Forest for Neverland, Malcolm wishes to fly, but realises he cannot as he is not a boy like in his dreams when he dreamed of the island. In an act of betrayal, Rumplestiltskin is abandoned by Malcolm as he realises that a boy cannot have a child. As the Shadow takes Rumplestiltskin back to the Enchanted Forest, he watches his father turn into a youthful boy, dropping the doll which Malcolm picks up. No longer an adult, he accepts the namesake of the doll, Peter Pan, as his new name.[25]

In an effort to rescue his grandson, Henry, from the grasp of Peter Pan, Mr. Gold (Rumplestiltskin) embarks on a solo mission in Neverland to accomplish the task. He comes across one of Pan's Lost Boys in the jungle, Felix, who gives Mr. Gold the doll, taunting him and leading him to break down in tears. The doll brings to light Mr. Gold's greatest pain associated with his father's abandonment as well as a fear of turning out just like him; a coward. Ultimately, Mr. Gold throws away the doll into the sea, but later, it drops out of the sky back to him. Unnerved, he uses magic to set the doll on fire, but once again, it reappears in its unburnt form. Decidedly, he retrieves the doll and keeps it in his jacket.[40]

Pan would later explain that he still loved Rumplestiltskin, and thus took the name of his son's beloved straw doll to show how much he mattered to him.

Storybrooke Border

A location in Once Upon a Time, marked with a red line on the road. This line was drawn by Leroy in season two as a visual (and very accurate) landmark for the city limits. In each season, something new happens that either prevents people from leaving the town or something terrible happens to the people who actually do leave. Only those who cast the Dark Curse are immune to these effects, and so is the Savior and anyone else born in the Land Without Magic; those who arrive through other means are immune to the actual effects of the curse. This is a running gag in the series, to keep the show contained in one location, except for flashbacks.

What happens at the border changes with each season:

Swords

There are different types of swords that are used in this franchise:

Captain Hook's Sword

Captain Hook's Sword is used by Captain Hook as his last line of defense when he doesn't use his hook hand. It was the sword that was the last item touched by Rumplestiltskin before he became the Dark One, and even used it in a sword fight with Emma during their first encounter in the post-curse Enchanted Forest. When Emma became the Dark One, she acquired the sword to revive Mr. Gold, as it was the last available item that he had touched as a mortal human.

Excalibur

Excalibur is a magical sword originating in Camelot.

It was originally the Holy Grail that gave Merlin and Nimue their powers. Later, Merlin used the Flame of Prometheus to reforge it into the sword Excalibur when the threat of Vortigan arose and due to Merlin's desire to live a normal, mortal life with Nimue.

It resides in a stone and can only be pulled out by the true ruler of the kingdom it's in. Prince Charming once constructed a fake Excalibur in order to boost Snow White's confidence in her fights with the Evil Queen.[40] The real one would likely belong to King Arthur.

In a flashback, it was revealed that Excalibur was once attempted to be pulled out of the stone by Sir Kay. He fails and is disintegrated. When King Arthur pulls Excalibur from the stone, he finds that the tip of Excalibur is missing. It turns out that the tip had been made into the Dark One's Dagger. King Arthur seeks to unite both items in order to make Excalibur complete; this task has driven Arthur insane, and drove those he cared for away from him.

In present-day Storybrooke, Emma has Mr. Gold pull the sword out of the stone again. However, it's explained that forever wipe out either light or dark magic.

Using the Promethean Spark obtained from Nimue's heart, Emma unites Excalibur and the Dark One's Dagger into one weapon. The manifestations of Rumplestiltskin, Nimue, and the other previous Dark Ones tempt Emma into using Excalibur. It is later revealed that Excalibur now bears the names "Emma Swan" and "Killian Jones", who are the current Dark Ones now. Emma sought to take the darkness out of both of them and put it in Zelena, who she forced to give birth sooner to avoid killing the baby so that no one would have any qualms with killing her to put an end to the Darkness' threat. Killian's name is on it because she removed Merlin's tethering that Zelena put on it, and tethered Killian to the sword instead, in order keep Killian from dying from a cut that Excalibur inflicted on his neck, which Emma previously healed but was beginning to become undone.

Captain Hook later steals Excalibur from Emma to prevent her from using it as a way to prevent those that she knows from taken the temporarily-revived Dark Ones before her and Mr. Gold from taking their places on Earth. When Captain Hook fights Nimue's influence, he uses Excalibur to suck the previous Dark Ones into it. Upon Captain Hook's advice in order to keep the Darkness from escaping, Emma impales Captain Hook with Excalibur, which seemingly defeats the Darkness and kills all of the past Dark Ones, destroying Excalibur in the process.

However, a part of Excalibur may have survived, as Mr. Gold had used a magic potion to turn Excalibur into a conduit, transferring the Darkness back into himself to become the most powerful Dark One ever. In the process, a new Dagger of the Dark One was generated, which may contain some of the original Excalibur's powers.

Jack's Sword

Jack's Sword is used by the woman when she ambushes the giants' beanstalk with Prince James. The sword's most distinguishing feature is an inscription of Jack's name on the side of the blade. Laced in poison, Jack wielded the weapon to attack and kill numerous giants, including Arlo, and then met her own demise after being stabbed by her own sword. She dies with the weapon in hand. Many years later, Emma stumbles upon Jack's skeletal corpse. Later, she grabs the sword to threaten the remaining giant Anton with it.

Mulan's Sword

Mulan's Sword is the most powerful blade in all the realms. When Emma decides to climb the beanstalk with Hook to retrieve the enchanted compass needed so she and Mary Margaret can return home to Storybrooke, she asks Mulan for a favor. Emma wants Mulan to cut down the beanstalk with her sword if she does not return at a certain time. Mulan agrees and later attempts to chop it down when she does not return at the designated time, but is stopped by Mary Margaret just as Emma jumps down from the beanstalk. The sword is used to repel magic when Mulan blocks Cora's fire attack.

Prince Charming's Sword

Prince Charming's Sword is his typical chosen weapon to fight his foes. After the Dark Curse is cast, the sword is one of the many items that come into Mr. Gold's possession in his pawnshop. Mr. Gold hands the sword over to Emma when he sends her on a mission to retrieve a potion from a beast so she can save Henry from the sleeping curse. Though she is reluctant to rely on the sword, eventually Emma successfully wields the blade to defeat Maleficent's dragon form. It was later broken during David's fight with his Doppelgänger Fear Spirit. Zelena stole it to use as a symbol of courage.

T

Trident of Poseidon

The Trident of Poseidon was owned to King Poseidon. It was once used by her daughter Ursula to transform her mermaid tail into tentacles and wanted to be like the Sea Goddess Ursula.

Trigger

The Trigger is a diamond-shaped magical item built into the Evil Queen's curse that transported characters to the real world of Storybrooke. If activated, it would revert Storybrooke back into a forest and kill every single person who was born in the realm of the Enchanted Forest. When newcomers Greg Mendell and Tamara arrive in the town with the intention to remove magic, they steal the trigger from Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) and activate it with a pickaxe that begins to erase Storybrooke, slowly converting it back into a forest. Regina attempts to delay the item's outcome, though she is not strong enough. Emma then uses her magic in addition to Regina's to stop the trigger. They succeed, and the item is deactivated.[4]

Trolden Glass

The Trolden Glass is a magic mirror used by the Snow Queen to cast the "Spell of Shattered Sight" in Storybrooke. The Norse mythical tale of The Trolden Glass, in which a king crafted a mirror for his daughter's upcoming birthday so she could see her own beautiful reflection. Tragically, the girl dies before receiving the gift and thus the mirror begins reflecting the king's sadness and pain. Deciding the kingdom should suffer as he is, the king masters dark magic and casts the spell of shattered sight on everyone. Influenced by the spell, people begin to see the worst in their loved ones and turn on each other, nearly wiping out his entire kingdom, until the King was killed.

Due to the altered perception, the afflicted will forget somethings as they focus on the negative traits in others. For example, Regina forgot that she sealed herself in her vault to keep others safe from herself and came to the conclusion that Emma must have trapped her. It also seems to have a beneficial effect; once curse on Storybrooke was broken, everyone was laughing and getting along. In a way, this curse seems to help people move on from tragedies and confrontations in the past.

There are ways to be immune to the spell:

Ingrid later re-cast the Spell of Shattered Sight. After reading the letter that Queen Gerda left for Anna and Elsa, Ingrid sacrifices her life to destroy the spell, along with the fragments of the Trolden Glass.

Vorpal Blade

The Vorpal Blade is a weapon that is said to be made from very powerful magic in Wonderland. It is used to seal away an ancient and dangerous creature known as the Jabberwocky, as it was the only weapon that could harm her. Imprisoned for 100 years, she gains freedom when the sorcerer Jafar pulls out the embedded weapon from her. When the Jabberwocky's usefulness has expired, he stabs the Jabberwocky with it and leaves her to be entrapped on the dungeon walls.

Vault of the Dark One's Key

The Key to the Vault of the Dark One is a special key hidden within a book in the Dark Castle, which can be used to open the Vault of the Dark One.

W

Wand

A Wand is a magical item used to carry out various tasks by its instructor. They are mainly used by fairies, though Rumplestiltskin kills Cinderella's fairy godmother to acquire hers.[39] He uses a wand in Storybrooke to steal the magical diamonds from the mines to transport its power into the well and prevent Regina Mills (the Evil Queen)'s mother Cora from entering the town.[15]

In a plan to prevent Peter Pan from enacting his Dark Curse, David Nolan (Prince Charming), Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and Neal Cassidy obtain the Black Fairy's wand from Mother Superior (the Blue Fairy) after her shadow was restored to her body following the Shadow's destruction.[41]

Another magic wand also helped Emma restored her powers after she and Hook time traveled back to the Enchanted Forest. Once her powers were restored, she used the wand to create a new portal that returned her, Hook, and their rescued guest that later turned out to be Robin Hood's wife Marian, back to Storybrooke.

Apprentice's Wand

The Apprentice owns a Wand which can generate a tornado for transport between the realms. It can only work is both light and dark magic are used. The wand itself is light magic, but a dark magic user must also help use it. As Hook points out, Regina might still have "the fire", but her heart has become too pure from loving Robin Hood to properly channel dark magic. Regina tricks Zelena into cooperating, dragging her along with the rest of the group to Camelot.

Regina later successfully uses the wand in the Season 5 mid-season finale, where she uses it to banish Zelena back to Oz, to keep her away from Robin's/her child. The reason Regina failed at using it was because she lacked confidence. Once she had it, she could masterfully control a cyclone to only suck in Zelena and vanish.

Cora's Wand

The Coras's Wand is a magic wand that Cora keeps locked away in her home.

One day, a young Regina finds a magic wand and attempts to transform her doll into a real sister with whom to play, only to have the spell backfire, knocking her unconscious. Cora and Prince Henry realizes that the only way to save her is by bringing a magical family member to wake her up. So Cora visits Oz to bring back Zelena.

Black Fairy's Wand

The Black Fairy's Wand is a wand that was originally owned by the Black Fairy who was a powerful praticioner of dark magic. She is implied to have died or was stripped of her fairy powers like Tinker Bell. The wand ended up in the Blue Fairy's possession. Unfortunately, she kept this a secret that she took with her to the grave (Pan's shadow ripped out her own, killing her). Luckily, the death of the shadow restored hers and her life; Blue gifted the wand to Tinker Bell, who gave it to Mr. Gold for restoring Henry and Peter Pan back to their proper bodies.

Blue Fairy's Wand

The Blue Fairy's Wand is a wand that is owned by the Blue Fairy. The Blue Fairy's Wand is exclusively good magic and has been used by the Blue Fairy for granting wishes of those who wish upon the blue star. In Storybrooke, it's been used for various things such as attempting to break down a barrier in Mr. Gold's pawnshop, reverting August to his child self Pinocchio, and healing severe wounds on Regina.

Fairy Godmother's Wand

The Fairy Godmother's Wand is a wand that was originally owned by Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. Rumplestiltskin comes to own the wand after killing her (he knew where to acquire it after his deal with King George when he made the deal to bring David to the King). Following a deal with Cinderella, he uses the wand to transform her rags into a gown so she can go to the royal ball.

The wand remains in his possession and is later used in Storybrooke by Mr. Gold when stealing fairy dust from the mines. Later, Mr. Gold has a nightmare where he uses the wand to turn his grandson into a statue and shatter him. At that point, Gold was suffering from inner turmoil as Henry was prophecised to be his undoing.

Wishes

The Wishes is an Agrabah item. They are three tiny tear-shaped rubies given to anyone who finds a genie's bottle. Each of the three represent one wish, and disappear when the wish is granted. They can be given away to somebody else to make wishes.

Wishing Star

The Wishing Star is a necklace capable of granting a wish, however, they are unable to use it since the wishing star requires someone with a pure heart.

When Gerda's eldest daughter Elsa manifests ice powers, she and her husband locate the wishing star, hoping to wish away Elsa's magic, the couple gain the mystical item from the pirate Black Beard.

Five years after the deaths of Gerda and her husband, Elsa discovers the necklace in her mother's belongings, and she decides to give it to her sister Anna for her upcoming wedding.

Witch's Cauldron

The Witch's Cauldron is a DunBroch item. It can be used to brew potions, or create magically infused items.

World-crossing

World-crossing, also known as Magic Portals in some cases, is a magical type of travelling between worlds. Is possible travel between worlds via many ways, like with magic bean, portals to a mermaid's ability to swim from a world to another, etc. Some of known world-crossings are:
