Shapeshifting

"A glamour spell. This is how you shall appear to one and all."

- Rumplestiltskin to Emma and Hook

Shapeshifting is a magical ability featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. It first appears in the second episode of the first season.

Known Ways to Shapeshift
A glamour is an illusion, and only affects the perception of people who see the glamoured person or object, as opposed to changing its actual form. Transfiguration, on the other hand, is a complete shape-shift, where the person physically transform into another being or form.

Other Notes

 * In magic lore, a glamour is a spell cast on somebody to make them see something the spell-caster wishes them to see, when in fact they are not what they seem to be. Shapeshifting, on the other hand, is a common theme in mythology, folklore and fantasy fiction, which refers to the ability to physically transform into another being or form.
