This is an idea I stole from another thread. Sorry, A_Desperate_Soul. But thinking of my theft as a compliment to your brilliant theory. 😀
I call that only those who possess true love in their lives (lovers, children) will be able to use the magic of true love. Regina will ironically be the only one left out.
I second (or third, fourth etc) this but with a twist. I think magic will go to those that have true love including Belle but NOT Mr. Gold. For some reason he won’t have magic return. Maybe it will start within him but then fizzle. I think it would be interesting to see Belle with the ability to use magic. Mr. Gold would have to “show”/teach her. Wouldn’t that be funny to watch. Mr G to Belle “Dearie, could you conjure up xyz with your magic?” Belle to Mr G ” Not today/I don’t think so…”
Besides, it would seem lopsided if Gold had magic and Regina not having magic.
