True Love's Kiss

"Sweet princess, if through this wicked witch’s trick,

A spindle should your finger prick,

A ray of hope there still may be,

In this, the gift I give at thee.

Not in death, but just in sleep;

The fateful prophecy you’ll keep,

And from this slumber you shall wake,

When true love’s kiss the spell shall break."

― Merryweather (Disney's Sleeping Beauty)

"True Love's Kiss. Works every time."

― Evie (Disney's Descendants)

"That’s the thing about True Love, It can slip through your fingers. It’s the most powerful magic in the world, The only magic powerful enough to break any curse, It must be protected at all costs!"

― Rumplestilskin explaining True Love (ABC’s Once Upon A Time)

The power to overcome powerful forces with a kiss between two lovers. Combination of Supernatural Kiss and Love Empowerment. Possible Variation of Love Magic.

Also Called[]

Kiss of True Love
Magic of Two Lovers

Capabilities[]

Users with the power of True Love's kiss can break through any external force, including magical curses. This means that a simple kiss shared between two individuals who truly love each other has the ability to overcome powerful enchantments. For example, if someone has been cursed into a deep slumber, a kiss of true love has the remarkable ability to awaken that person from their enchanted sleep.

In rare cases, True Love's kiss doesn't necessarily have to be on the lips or exclusively between romantic partners. The power of True Love's kiss can also be manifested in the bond between a parent and child, transcending the traditional concept of romantic love.
