I mean seriously. Why was it so hard to get the dagger when she could have just used accio and got it immediately? And they can literally just apparate anywhere.
It’s obvious the writers don’t take the act of magic itself very seriously in this show, with all these poorly written scenes, why didn’t Regina just simply teleport to her lair to get her moms heart? Why didn’t Cora just teleport the Charmings/Neal out of the way when she first entered the shop…Another funny scene was when they had Regina physically digging last episode….BAHAHA!
