The **Immortality Spell** is an extremely powerful spell used to transform a mortal person into one of four immortal creatures; either a true immortal, like Osiris and Aphrodite, a Primordial vampire, like the Mikaelson Family.

The spell was originally conceived by "one of the most powerful witches of all time," Isobella. However, after Silas manipulated Qetsiyah into creating a spell for immortality, he betrayed her by giving the elixir to his true love Aphrodite, both becoming the world's first and only true immortals. Approximately one thousand years later, another powerful witch named Morgana modified Isobella's original spell as a solution to protect her family from werewolves and other harm. However, after she cast the spell, the Spirits retaliated against her, and she unknowingly transformed them into the first vampires. Esther performed the spell one thousand years later to make Alaric Saltzman the first Enhanced Original Vampire with powers stronger than the Originals for the purpose of hunting down the Originals and killing them with the indestructible White Oak Stake. A few years later Vincent Griffith was forced to cast an altered spell to create a serum that would turn the intended subjects into Upgraded Original vampires, prophesied as "the Beast"; Lucien, and then Marcel, eventually became 'Beasts', gaining superior strength and speed over that of the Originals, including Klaus, the Original Hybrid. However, the Beasts possess an additional power over an Enhanced Original, like that of Alaric, a venomous bite capable of killing an Originals without the need of a White Oak Stake. This was incorporated into the spell that made the Originals, a spell that Lucien had a coven of witches reverse engineer over a length of time. This additional power is superior to the Enhanced Original given its lethality to kill Originals without white Oak.

## History

Over Fifteen thousand years ago in Ancient Eygpt a young and very powerful warlock named Osiris fell deeply in love with a young and beautiful girl named Aphrodite. However, because of her status as a poor girl who was a handmaiden and his status as a wealthy boy who was a nobleman, their love was forbidden due to their different social statuses. As a result, they had kept their relationship a secret out of fear that society would shun them. While the details of their relationship remain unknown, it is known that the two loved each other very much and wanted to be together for all of eternity. Determined to spend the rest of forever with his true love Aphrodite, Osiris tricked his best friend Qetsiyah into helping him create a spell for immortality. Despite their friendship, Silas knew that Qetsiyah also strongly loved him, and prayed off of Qetsiyah's love for him by asking for her hand in marriage, leading her to believe that he loved her and that the immortality spell was for the two of them to share on their wedding night. After Isobella and Osiris successfully created an elixir that would grant immortality to whomever drank the potion, she was later appalled to discover that Osiris ran off with the elixir, giving it to his forbidden lover Aphrodite instead. Fueled with hatred and rage, Isobella created the Cure for immortality along with a supernatural purgatory, known as The Other Side. Knowing that Silas could no longer die,she killed his lover Aphrodite, so that he would take the cure and pass away, thinking he would be reunited with Aphrodite in death, but would actually be trapped in limbo with her.

The Primordial family, also known as the Mikaelson Family, were a large family of witches who became the world's second generation of immortal creatures, and the first generation of their kind as vampires. Compared to Osiris and Aphrodite, the Primordial vampires have vastly different characteristics. The most noticeable difference between the two species of immortals, are their abilities. While both species have psychic abilities, the Originals also have super-human physical abilities, e.g. strength, speed, senses etc, whereas true immortals are only slightly superior to hunters of the Brotherhood of the Five, and slightly below werewolves in human form, although their psychic and mental powers are far more superior, capable of compelling masses at once without eye contact and capable of compelling anything but members of The Five. This is similar, as the Originals cannot compel The Five either, nor witches and werewolves.

The parents of the Original family are Esther and her husband Mikael. Mikael and Esther had their first child in Europe, but eventually "lost" her to a plague that struck their homeland. Fearing for the lives of their future children, the two relocated to the New World with Esther's mentor and close friend, Ayana, where they had more children. Their names are, from oldest to youngest; Finn, Elijah, Niklaus, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik. Ayana was told by the spirits of nature that there was a land with people that had been blessed with speed and strength, so they embarked there to start their family. During this time the Mikaelson family made peace with it's neighbors and they all lived together happily. The native people in this new country were werewolves.

During a full moon, Niklaus and Henrik, who wanted to see the men turn into wolves, decided to go out at night to watch them transform, which was forbidden. One of the werewolves ultimately attacked and killed Henrik. Niklaus brought Henrik's body back to his mother, hoping she could use her magic to help heal him, but she was unable to do so. After losing Henrik, Esther and Mikael spoke with Ayana about a possible way of protecting their children from the werewolves. They wanted to protect what family they had left, but Ayana was not willing to perform the spell, as she believed it was a crime against nature. This left Esther to do the spell by herself, at her husband's urgings, not knowing she was creating what would become deadly bloodthirsty creatures, abominations of nature.

At Mikael's request, Esther created a ritual to make her children and husband immortal. Mikael wanted to be superior to werewolves in power, speed, and senses. Esther took blood from Amara's doppelganger descendant Tatia, and spelled the blood. Mikael offered his children wine laced with the spelled blood and killed his children by stabbing them in their hearts with his sword. Esther's spell called on the Sun for life, resurrecting her children, and drew from the White Oak Tree, one of nature's eternal objects, to give her children immortality. Upon awakening in transition to Original vampires, Mikael forced his children to consume fresh human blood to complete the ritual, birthing the Originals and the vampire species as a whole. Nature, in retaliation to these abominations, added weaknesses; The Sun that granted the Original's life could burn them, neighbors could keep vampires out of their home unless invited inside, vervain flowers that grew at the base of the White Oak Tree would burn the Originals and prevent their mind compulsion, wood from the White Oak Tree, the source of their immortality, could kill them, and as they were reborn through a blood consuming ritual, they craved blood above all else with their heightened emotions and senses.

## Loopholes

### Qetsiyah's Version

* **The Cure:** The Cure is the only known loophole to the spell, created by Qetsiyah herself. It is the only thing able to cure true immortality; it is also capable of curing other forms of immortality, such as vampirism.

### Esther's Version

* **Elder Oak Stake:** As Esther bound the spell to the white oak tree for immortality, its wood was the only thing capable of killing the Originals, once and for all. The last known white oak on earth, the Elder Oak Stake, was destroyed by Delilah. However, more white oak existed as Klaus had unknowingly made his wooden knight out of the wood. The figure was obtained by Aurora Delacourt who had it fashioned into seven bullets. Six of the bullets were destroyed by Klaus along with any splinters from their carving.
* **The Immortality Reversal Spell:**Morgana was capible of reversing the vamperisim she created with a spell.She however was unsuccsefull in casting it as she needed a trmendus amount of powerand her connection to that power was severed before she was able to cast the spell.
* **Elder Oak Ash Dagger:**

Forged By Witchs for The Brotherhood of the Seven,The silver daggers were able to Neutralizing a Primordial until the dagger was removed. A gold dagger was made by Kaleb and Julia to work on Zander from a silver dagger. It was the only dagger capable of neutralizing the Primordial Hybrid until it was destroyed by Delilah
