Powers and abilities[]
- Dark Fairy Magic: Tinker Bell once said that she was one of the most powerful fairies that ever existed and Regina Mills expressly described her as the most powerful enemy she has ever faced. In fact, with her dark magic she managed to take complete control and manipulate, according to her wishes, the Dark Realm in which Blue Fairy had imprisoned her. It was also established that with the death of Emma Swan, the destruction of various realms and the end of the Light Magic, the Black Fairy would become so powerful that, through her wand, she would have obtained the power to manipulate reality.
- Flight: As a fairy, the Black Fairy has the ability to sprout wings and fly.
- Size Manipulation: The Black Fairy has the ability to change her form, shrinking her size.
- Telekinesis: The Black Fairy has the ability to move objects and people with her mind, as seen when she opened and closed the door to Gideon's dungeon and when she put K.O. Regina. She can also use it to choke her victims by stretching out the arm and imitating the gesture with the hand.
- Immortality: Like all fairies the Black Fairy doesn't age, and can seemingly live forever, if she is not killed.
- Limited Portal Creation: While in the Dark Realm, the Black Fairy was able to create portals between worlds, though this was limited to a short moment, as she was always taken back.
- Ripping Out Hearts: The ability to remove a persons heart, and take control of them.
- Teleportation: The Black Fairy is able to teleport herself, other individuals and objects in a cloud of black smoke. This extends to magical items like the Dark One's Dagger.
- Sharing Visions: The Black Fairy has the ability to share her past memories in the form of visions with people.
- Magic Resistance: She is immune to some forms of offensive magic, as seen when Zelena tried to attack her.
- Transformation: This ability to turn something to something else. This was used to turn Snow White's wedding dress black and turning other people into harmless insects (so much so that her magic powder has just this effect).
- Shapeshifting: The ability to change one's form, including clothes.
- Energy Blasts: The ability to blast a ray of energy onto someone. This was attempted on Emma Swan, who managed to block it. She use this power successfully on Regina and Henry Mills, however, making the latter fall from the stairs.
- Curse Creation: The Black Fairy has the ability to enact dark curses, for her own selfish and malevolent purposes. She showcased this by creating (combining two ancient fairy spells) and using the infamous Dark Curse.
- Knowledge of Fairy Lore: As a mortal woman, Fiona studied Fairy Lore, in order to understand a prophecy. This led to her gaining the knowledge to turn herself into a fairy.
- Spell-casting: The ability to cast spells with various magical results with the help of a magic wand. Fiona used this ability as a mortal to become a fairy.
