I wouldn’t be surprised if he has generated an alternative source of magic that is derived from true love rather than from fairy dust. In episode 14, we saw that fairy dust made from crushed diamonds is what powers magic in FTL. In episode 16, however, we heard Mr. Gold say that if you can bottle true love, the greatest magic of all, you can do anything.
Interesting thoughts. So the magic in FTL is mostly based on the fairy dust. Using the bottled love Rumple’s made it so that the magic in SB will be based on true love. That would make it even more powerful.
Oh gods, I just realise why I would love that! It would prove my thought (way back when that bottled love episode came) that Rumple wanted the bottled love to get an even greater power!! Haha, that’d be cool, but back to business.
It does seem a bit weird him bringing back magic. If the waters of the well could bring back things lost, that would mean there had been magic in SB before, right? And I don’t mean the little bits that Regina had, but real, strong, powerful magic. Wouldn’t that suggest that our world did have magic and that maybe FTL is the past and not just another world? This is so complicated …
