I think of it like this. The Pendant amps up the power a bit and gives an auto-revival once. It's quite hard to understand, but I think Zelena got her body back when her spirit traveled back in time and found her still-existing self. Maybe, the spirit possesed her "past" body. That's just my theory. It was my theory as well, but she had no pendant on her green self, so it couldn't be her past body. Maybe while cursed (my theory) being turn into goo (Elsa, Ingrid, Rumple), the rest turn into smoke. Thus the body is reformed. That would tie in with Merlin being smoke.

Sorcerer/ess (Those born with magic): Merlin, Zelena, Emma.......turn to smoke

Wizard/Witch (Those that acquired through a curse): Elsa, Ingrid, Rumple......turn to goo

Magician or Lesser Wizard/Witch (Learned or object enhanced): Regina, Cora.....turn to ??? nothing, probably

Magic being: Shadow, Maleficent, Chernabog etc......maybe ashes or dust/smoke?

Note: While Zelena may be the Wicked Witch, she is a sorceress, no a witch persay. Or maybe, they went back to the time when Zelena does not have the pendant yet. I'm not sure which happened first though: Charming and Snow's first meeting OR Glinda giving the pendant to Zelena. I can't figure out the answer because I can't remember when Snow became a bandit.

Regina was still learning magic and pretty much still good, so Snow is still a child and Leopold is alive. Zelena gets the pendant around that time.
