A virtual onslaught of acerbic, confrontational wordplay, The Devil’s Dictionary offers some 1,600 wickedly clever definitions to the vocabulary of everyday life.

[Words have power. Always have. Magic isn't really about the power, it's about the words, and once Regina figures out the right words to get her across that barrier between Storybrooke and the rest of the world, she runs. She runs as far as her feet can carry her -- or her car.

There aren't many who deal in her kind of magic, but there are some, and some who simply know a little about everything. She gets pointed in the direction of the Argents, and tries to determine which words will get her past this door.
