Enchanted Hearts

"Não tem muito segredo e só você me acompanhar. 180, 180, 360. 180, 180, 360. É fácil de pegar, difícil de esquecer. O cara da pegada quer te ensinar a fazer. 180, 180, 360. 180, 180, 360. É fácil de pegar, difícil de esquecer. Se liga na pegada, é o arrocha do poder."

- Rumplestiltskin to Regina

Enchanted Hearts, created by Heart-ripping, are magical items that are featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. They first appear in the seventh episode of the first season of Once Upon a Time.

Effects
The user of an enchanted heart can:
 * Crush it and kill the victim
 * Control the victim's actions and speech
 * Use the heart to reanimate the victim's dead bodies
 * Split it in half to save a crushed victim of true love
 * Remove the Darkness from within the victim's heart using the Sorcerer's Hat to absorb it

Additionally, people with their hearts ripped out are unable to feel any true emotion until the heart is restored. If someone commits an evil act of darkness like murder, the heart will begin to blacken, and if this heart becomes completely black, the person will die. They are also immune to the effects of the Boro Grove's enchantment and the Spell of Shattered Sight.

 * Hook - A single-use, potion-induced enchantment that the Evil Queen places on his hook, allowing him the ability to rip out a heart. Hook later reuses this enchantment by pouring the potion onto his hook.
 * Snow White - Gained a recreational ability in the alternate reality, undone after alternate reality reversed.

 * Rapunzel Tremaine - Uses the Fairy Godmother's Wand to grant herself single-use enchantments.

Resurrection Using Enchanted Hearts
The action of placing a beating enchanted heart in the heartless chest of a dead person can bring them back to life. In some cases, this brings awful side effects: extreme violence and irrational thinking.
 * Gerhardt is resurrected by his brother, Victor Frankenstein, using an enchanted heart brought to his world by Rumplestiltskin. However, as a side effect of being brought back to life, Gerhardt becomes a violent and irrational creature. He ends up begging his brother to put an end to his misery.
 * Daniel is brought back to life by Dr. Whale after the curse is broken. The same side effects are developed, leading to Daniel ripping off Dr. Whale's arm. Regina ends up turning Daniel to dust, after he begs her to let him go.
 * Prince Charming is brought back to life by Regina using half of Snow White's heart. However, due to their true love, they are able to share one heart, and thus there are no apparent side effects.

Trivia

Production Notes

 * When filming the ripping or return of a heart, the actor pretends to plunge their hand into the other person's chest before they both freeze. While they stand still, an assistant puts the heart into the actor's hand or takes it away. The actor continues the action after the assistant leaves the frame.
 * The ripping or return of a heart can also be filmed by the actor pushing their hand between the victim's arm and upper body, making it look like their fist is in their chest, and then someone runs in and gives them a heart.
