I’m still wondering if Belle can/will ever learn magic. She does have a “superpower,” and the only other person described with a superpower so far is Emma, who is magical. (Of course, I also wonder how much magic ability Rumple will hang onto when/if he’s no longer the Dark One–he clearly added onto the Dark One’s knowledge/abilities over the years.)
Would Belle ever want to learn magic, though? She tells Dreamy in The Outsider
Grumpy: Wait! Belle, wait. It’s fairy dust. Might come in handy.
(He hands Belle a small satchel.)
Belle: Oh, no… Thank you, I… I’ve seen what magic does to people.
Grumpy: You’ve seen what dark magic does. Fairies use this for good. Now go be a hero.
And while yes later she uses the fairy dust for good, I don’t know if Belle will ever be open enough to magic to try and use it herself. I think she is going to be more willing for Rumple to use magic after her stint as Lacey, but it’s not for her.
