Anyway, my wish list includes Aladdin, Jasmine, Tiana, Esmeralda, Megara, Pocahantas, Amara & Jafar from 'Once Wonderland', Queen Narissa from 'Enchanted', Princess Kida from 'Atlantis' & Eris from 'Sinbad' (properly cast; no white washing except for Megara, Queen Narissa & Eris who actually are White though I wouldn't mind minority actresses for them too). I also would like to see more Mythological Creatures, such as The Hydra & The Phoenix. Or at least some references like ingredients for a spell or potion. And I'd like to see less of spells that make you lose your memory or transport you to another world or something along that line. The Magic on the show could really use some variety. Once should consider taking notes from The Vampire Diaries & The Originals as their magic is always impressive! Narissa is just a combination of several fairytale villains, nmost notably Maleficent and the Evil Queen, so she would just be a rehash and isn't based on a single fairytale.

I rather Once keep their magic effects and stuff because it makes them unique. They just need to stop magic from being overpowered, establish less vague rules, and actually have people learn how to do magic on-screen then having Emma learn everything offscreen and having Regina learn all her magic in a short period of time (off-screen).
