Persuasion was called that because of Rumple's words. I would advocate a name change, but there's not much concern to me. Ursula has powers that are often confused between sirens and mermaids and sometimes they were the same thing. Anyhow, it did sort of hypnotize them by putting them at a sense of ease and comfort eve when danger is ahead. So, it's technically not hypnosis, but Mermaid magic, as they also can travel between worlds. Is mermaid magic another kind of magic, different from witchcraft? Should we put that in on the Types of Magic section? I would say so because it's confined to a particular species. I disagree with several of the types of magic, but if we are going to give species magic like the Fairies, then the mermaids deserve them too.

I mean, I think there is no such think as belief magic that they say Peter Pan uses. Belief magic or the magic of Neverland that Pan uses is primarily just pixie dust. Why else would he change in a pixie dust glow and fly as if he was surrounded by pixie dust and we even learned that pixie dust is what causes the need for belief as Tink had to show. I have several qualms, but that's up for debate. I think the Neverland magic is a type of magic different from general witchcraft, just not called Belief. How do you think Rumpel conjure that cake when he was a boy, and Henry conjuring up that sword when he's going to fight a lost boy? Also Belief may be the trigger or key of seeing and using general magic itself, but maybe not a type of magic. See, people have to believe in magic to see them, such as when the doctor and Emma can't see August's wooden leg, because they don't believe. Leroy also mentioned that Belle didn't believe enough when the cloaking spell that she casted didn't work at first. Maybe Belief is a special kind of magic that could be used anywhere, even places without magic like our world, such as when the Dragon could see August's wooden leg, because Belief is from one's self, not from outside forces. Maybe we should create a new page on Belief, separating in from the Magic page and removing it from the types of magic. Belief is faith from everyone, not a force like magic such as witchcraft, sorcery, fairy powers or ice powers. I'll agree with the latter part. But Belief is actually fundamental in magic as even the Apprentice asked "Do you believe in magic?"

Belief is strongly connected though with Fairies. Neverland's magic is always a pixie dust glow sort of thing. Fairy Dust only requires you to believe so Pixie Dust powers Neverland primarily. Even an old qoute by Blue said that fairy dust powers the world, which in Neverland's case is true.

Neverland's magic is not Witchcraft, but just an extension of fairy magic in a sense. Pixie Dust is nuclear fairy dust and if we take it lierally then Neverland is covered by radiation, lol. However, that would explain why anyone could use magic....until it started to run dry in Neverland that none of the Lost Boys showed magical powers, besides Henry who had the Heart of the Truest Believer whi9ch made him an exception.
