It would be fascinating to see Rumple and Regina without magic but with full knowledge (in terms of being able to talk about that with others) of who they are. They knew who they were in S1 but no one else did. Belle (as Belle) is a big part of the picture for Rumple, just as Henry is for Regina. But it will tell a much more involved/complex story if they don’t rely on the “good” people in their lives to motivate them, but instead make those decisions on their own, especially if there is the temptation to try and get their magic back.
What if season 3 had the characters in some unfamiliar territory (say Neverland or such) and neither Regina nor Rumple had magic- but Regina (and any followers/help she has) are trying to gain it while Rumple/Charmings/etc are trying to keep it out of her hands. Then we get to have a fun moment where everyone questions whether Rumple is really trying to keep if from her, or claim it for himself. Mwahaha.
