On-Screen Notes

 * Teleportation is usually accompanied by a cloud of magical smoke, snow or fire. However, some people, like Zoso, Emma, Maleficent, Rumplestiltskin and Peter Pan, are able to teleport without it.
 * When someone teleports, it is possible that nearby objects are transported away as well, as was the case with Prince Charming's sword being brought with the Evil Queen to her palace.
 * Objects can also be summoned from somewhere else and materialize in one's hand in the middle of a cloud of smoke.
 * A cloud of smoke can be sent through a mirror to magically transport away the person who is being spied on.
 * It is only possible to materialize somewhere else if the exact location is known. In addition, magical shields can prevent anyone from poofing into a place. Hook suspects Peter Pan cast one of those over his campsite.
 * In order to teleport someone who is in the immediate vicinity of you, you have to see the person, or you might end up teleporting pieces of their body or things around them. It is possible to teleport someone to your side when they are not in the immediate vicinity of you; however, this requires knowing where the person is.
 * In order to teleport yourself, you have to picture the desired location clearly in your mind.
 * When magical transportation is used to summon objects, it sometimes produces smoke, such as Rumplestiltskin and Prince Charming's contract or the Magic Globe. However, in most cases, the object simply appears out of nowhere, like Cinderella's contract, the Looking Glass and the Black Fairy's wand. In addition, the enchanted compass glows brighter when Cora poofs it out of Emma’s hand into her own.

 * The scene with Isaac and Mr. Gold at Granny's Diner in "Mother", was originally supposed to end with them walking out of the building, but it was changed into Gold teleporting them away instead.
