    Since Emmas magical powers have now been awakened do you think she will get taught how to use magic now.

    Regina might teach her because she wants her to go against Cora.

    Mr. Gold might teach her to help him break the magical barrier and deal with both Regina and her mother.

    The Blue Fairy might want to use her as a sort of “battery” to fuel her magic, now that the diamonds are gone. (I still don’t trust that woman)

    Then again I can’t see Cora passing up an opportunity to get her hands on the kind of power Emma seems to possess.

    I think thats possible, but Emma will have to be careful because her magic and power could take over her. I think Regina and Gold will eventually deicde to teach her. But I also think that she will try to test it out for herself first because shes not the type to go asking for help.
    However this is the start for Emma- you cant just learn magic overnight, it takes time. But i think she’ll be the one who overthrows Cora and send everyone back to FTL.
    It will be interesting though when everyone teams up against Cora, even those who hate each other, including Snow and Regina, and even Rumple and Hook.

    The curse will be broken and the final battle will begin.

    What is the battle about? For what? Fought by whom? What are the sides.

    Either way, I think Emma is the key to the battle though.

    I wonder if Emma using magic will come at a price though..? I wonder if she’ll take the chance that something could happen to Henry.

    I have a feeling that as true love incarnate, Emma’s magic doesn’t jive with dark magic, but surpasses it. Rumple said to his son that fairy dust didn’t mix with what he is, and Emma’s magic may not either. I think whoever ends up teaching Emma will practice good magic, like a fairy or a good wizard whom we’ve yet to meet. Plus, Jennifer Morrison gave the following explanation about Emma’s magic in relation to Mr. Gold:

    WHAT WAS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT EMMA/MR. GOLD CONVO?
    Having become aware that Rumplestiltskin knew from before her birth that she was the savior, Emma upon returning to Storybrooke confronted Mr. Gold about keeping secrets – only to realize that she has a surprise to share with him. “It’s a game of chess for her, because if she has the power to not have her heart ripped out by Cora, that makes her pretty powerful,” says Jennifer Morrison. “She doesn’t understand that power, though, and she doesn’t know the rules, but she doesn’t want to ask him for help, so she is in a delicate way trying to figure out how powerful she is in relation to him.” http://tvline.com/2012/12/02/once-upon-a-time-midseason-finale-recap-burning-questions/2/

    Sounds like Emma doesn’t really trust Mr. Gold to teach her. She was simply sizing him up and seeking an answer to whether he designed her to have magic. Mr. Gold said back in S1 that Emma was more powerful than she realized. I think she’s just starting to understand how powerful, but she doesn’t want Gold’s help.

    I have a feeling that it’s predominately dark magic which always comes with a price. When Emma repelled Cora with magic, it didn’t seem like Emma paid a price. Plus, I don’t think Emma simply has magic. I think Emma is magic. She is the living, breathing personification of the purest, most powerful form of magic: true love. True love doesn’t come with a price, but it does break curses and dark magic. So, since Emma is magic, she doesn’t wield it but simply generates it, bypassing any “cost” that might come when someone like Regina tries to use it.

    Emma may not need to be “taught” as such, but I’m pretty sure Blue will try to guide her as to how her magic should be used.
