I'm no expert on magic, far from it, actually. But in my world, there's never a spell and it's all impossible, until suddenly there is and it isn't.

The answer is out there. Wonderland doesn't want us to find it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

( and maybe it isn't a spell. but Hook is pretty used to magic being the troublemaker in his life so that's what he assumes. )
