Zelena (Once Upon a Time)
In December 2013, Rebecca Mader was cast as the Wicked Witch of the West. She made multiple appearances during the second half of season three and was promoted to a series regular for the show's fifth season. The role of the Wicked Witch of the West was written specifically for Rebecca Mader. It was announced that the writers had chosen not to continue with Zelena's storyline and Mader would not be returning for the seventh season of the show. However, Mader later revealed that she would be returning for multiple season seven episodes.

Regina later successfully uses the wand in the Season 5 mid-season finale, where she uses it to banish Zelena back to Oz, to keep her away from Robin's/her child. The reason Regina failed at using it was because she lacked confidence. Once she had it, she could masterfully control a cyclone to only suck in Zelena and vanish.
