It is an extremely powerful spell used to transform a mortal person, into an immortal creature. There were four kinds of immortal creatures on the TV show - True immortal, an Original vampire, an Enhanced Original vampire, or an Upgraded Original vampire.

-------Doppelgängers.

Doppelgängers, also known as Shadow-Selves, are a supernatural occurrence that were created by Nature as a result of Silas and Amara becoming true immortals after consuming Qetsiyah's immortality elixir. The purpose of this supernatural species is to maintain the natural balance by dying in place of their immortal progenitors. For this reason, doppelgängers have existed for thousands of years, during which time, they have been born and died in place of Silas and Amara.

The Immortality spell was used four times in the T.V show.--

-------2010 A.D - Alaric Saltzman - (Enhanced Original Vampire).

Enhanced Original Vampire is a term used to describe the type of Original vampire Alaric Saltzman became when the witch, Esther recast the Immortality Spell to turn him. She made changes such as binding Alaric's life to a doppelgänger, whereas the other Originals' immortality was granted by the white oak tree. This meant that he could not be killed at all, as long as the doppelgänger lived, which is why he had to guard her life.

-------2014 A.D - Lucien Castle and Marcel Gerard - (Upgraded Original Vampire).

They are superior to that of the Originals in very specific ways; being capable of fighting, defeating, and killing normal Originals. As an Upgraded version of an Original Vampire, it possesses a bite that is capable of killing an Original as it secretes an extremely potent strain of engineered Werewolf Venom.
