The Tethering Potion is a magic potion featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the seventh episode of the fifth season.

In some cases, a Tethering Spell can be used instead of a potion.


History

Before First Curse

After Nimue shatters Excalibur to prevent removal of her Dark One powers, the sorcerer Merlin creates a tethering potion to bind Nimue to Excalibur's broken half, the Dark One's dagger. With this, he succeeds in forcing Nimue to obey the commands of whoever possesses the dagger. At some point, Merlin records information on the tethering potion in one of his books, which he keeps in his tower. ("Nimue")

Before Third Curse

While plotting her escape from Regina, Zelena helps King Arthur get one of Merlin's spell books and tethering Merlin to Excalibur. Arthur then assumes control of Excalibur and commands Merlin to do his bidding, which ends later when Hook makes him forfeit Excalibur. ("Nimue", "Birth")

Before Hook succumbs to a fatal wound from Excalibur's blade, Emma tries to save him by tethering his life to Excalibur. In doing so, she releases Merlin from the tether, but Hook is revived as a new Dark One. ("Nimue")

After Third Curse

Realizing he has a chance to take back the Dark One's powers, Mr. Gold uses a tethering potion on Excalibur, before giving the sword to Emma. While Emma wishes to sacrifice herself to prevent the Dark Ones from taking people's souls to the Underworld, Hook ultimately gives up his life to protect the townspeople. With Hook's death, all the darkness that once sustained the Dark Ones' magic should disappear into nothingness, however, because of the tethering potion, the powers of all previous Dark Ones return into Mr. Gold. ("Swan Song")
