Good thoughts Slurpeez.
I also think she’s on to Mr. Gold, and won’t fall for his manipulations like Regina did. Emma isn’t vulnerable like Regina was, because Emma has her family.
Yet, there is that favor Mr. Gold is owed. He could easily make Emma use her magic for something big so he doesn’t have to pay the price.
Also, when Nealfire enters the picture, he’s going to be dead set against anyone using magic.
If Neal actually is Bae. Sorry I’m not convinced yet. I still think it would be to convenient. And although Henry’s father may be set against the use of magic, how exactly would Bae be able to stop someone like say Cora from leading Henry into temptation. Even Rumple might not be able to help as Regina so apptly pointed out, he has a weakness now, two if you count Bae.
Also, while Henry seems curious about good magic like fairy dust, he’s against dark magic and what it does to those who wield it.
Who said that fairy dust was good magic? All the Blue Fairy, of all people, said about it was that “Its magic is what powers the world”. No word about good or evil. We have seen that it can be used to create realy destructive energies when Mr. Gold and Regina sealed the well. Henry surely would use magic if it presented itself as his only option. I’m sure he would use it to keep Emma or his Grandparents from harm. Would he use fairy dust then, which he perhaps thinks is an instrument of good? Surely. Just a nudge or two from Mother Superior, like she did with Rumple and the Curse would be enough.
Speaking of the Blue Fairy, I just had another look at the scene where she stopped the arrows. She looked rather pleased that Snow decided to spare the Queen’s life. Out of compassion or because of a more sinister plan?
