Teleportation

Teleportation, also referred to as "Poofing", is the magical ability to transport someone to another area or location. It featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.

Description

Teleportation is usually accompanied by a cloud of magical smoke, snow, water or fire. However, some people are able to teleport without it.

It is only possible to materialize somewhere else if the exact location is known. Also, in order to teleport yourself, you have to picture the desired location clearly in your mind. ("Quite a Common Fairy", "The Dark Swan")

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. ("The Thing You Love Most")

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 addition, a cloud of smoke can be sent through a mirror to magically transport away the person who is being spied on. ("A Land Without Magic", "The Heart of the Truest Believer", "Shattered Sight")

Magic can be used to stop someone from teleporting, and one type of protection spell can prevent anyone from poofing into a place. Hook suspects Peter Pan cast one of those over his campsite. According to Hades, everything is "shut down" in the area around the Ambrosia Temple, so teleporting in and out of there is impossible. ("Quite a Common Fairy", "Broken Heart", "Firebird")
