"When the Black Fairy was developing the Dark Curse, she implemented a Preservation Spell that, when cast on someone, would keep their spirit from heading to the Underworld, no matter what form their body took."

A Preservation Spell is a spell featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the twentieth episode of the second season.

Description
A Preservation Spell can be cast through use of the Dark Curse. The Evil Queen placed one on Maleficent, while the Black Fairy placed one on herself. While under the effects of a Preservation Spell, a person's soul will not be taken to the Underworld if they are dealt a lethal blow. Maleficent was able to take the form of a zombie-like creature to fight Hook, Greg, and Tamara.

However, to regain full sentience after being dealt a lethal blow, the blood of the person or people who wronged the affected most must be placed on their remains.
