Persuasion is a type of magic featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the twelfth episode of the fourth season.
Uses
Persuasion is the magical ability to compel animals. Cruella is the only known character with this ability, however, it was given to her as a gift by Isaac by writing it in his notepad. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as controlling dogs to preventing bugs from attacking. It is also so powerful that it can control Maleficent in her dragon form. ("Sympathy for the De Vil")
Practitioners
Trivia
On-Screen Notes
- There is currently no known living person who can perform this kind of magic, since the only known practitioner, Cruella De Vil, is deceased. ("Sympathy for the De Vil")
Disney
- The green smoke that comes out of Cruella's mouth when persuasion magic is used is designed to reflect the green and yellow cigarette smoke of Disney's Cruella De Vil in One Hundred and One Dalmatians. ("Darkness on the Edge of Town," "Sympathy for the De Vil")
