Could Rumple actually be protecting Emma (and himself) by taking away her magic, thus, voiding her qualifications for entering the sisterhood of the Yellow Ribbon Society of Sisters
Nobody ever LISTENS to Rumple. Yeah, he manipulates those who have something he wants, and misleads when it’s in his favor, but he just TOLD Emma there’s a better option than coming to him. He TOLD Ingrid that their bracelets were better than what he had to offer.
He’s been lying through his teeth about the dagger but honestly, that’s not his usual mode (which is why I think the hat is exceptional to other stuff he’s done). He tells people the price, just buries it in language favorable to him–his contracts etc.
I don’t think for an instant that he WANTS to take away Emma’s magic anymore. Needs more context, but by itself, that clip strongly suggests it wasn’t his initial goal at all.

Also, I’m still convinced that Emma and Henry have a special place in Rumple’s heart and did even before he knew that his son loved both of them or that they were family. I think he includes them in his “people he loves” when he warns Ingrid. That’s headcanony, but I think most of the show supports that–even in the rare instances when he puts one or the other in danger in pursuit of a goal.

I am going to believe that Rump didn’t give away the potion to Ingrid because her gift was so rare (as he said) and he didn’t want to take it away completely. So he offered her lessons in it and when she declined he gave her the urn so that even if someothing happens, she’s basically sealed in a can if he should ever need her or her powers. Rump never said he couldn’t take her magic away and we’ve seen multiple times thats its possible. He just didn’t WANT to take her powers.

I still don’t get why there’s a spell in one scene, and a potion in the other. But I’ll be interested to find out who and what they’re actually for.
