Gift of Magic

[Keb]

I believe in Once that internal magic is something you have to have that “spark” for, and then you can learn it. So being magical is something that, barring access like the Dark One’s dagger, you have to be born with. But to really use it requires training (and if you don’t have obvious signs like Zelena, how would you know to be trained? So probably there are many born with the spark who never seek training).

Magic items can be used by anybody.

Some curses/items can grant magic abilities to the user. I highly suspect that the effects of knowing how to use magic are permanent, though, even if the curse is later lifted–I think we saw that with Cyrus in Wonderland. Perhaps once that spark is created, you never quite lose it, even if your powers are diminished once no longer under the curse.

I don’t think this is the reason for Cyrus’s magic. In episode 9 (I think) when he did this tracker spell he said that his mother taught him the spell and that it’s so easy everyone can do it. So there are 2 options in my opinion:

1) Everyone can do simple spells if they study hard enough but to do the serious things you need to have talent.

2) Amara was a sorceress so maybe he inherited the magic ability and that’s why he could do the spell. But if it’s true than why did she lie to him by saying the everyone can do this spell?

You know what I can't continue with the dead people brought back to life list I'm out of space in the signature and now we have an underworld arc this is to much I quit why do you bring so many people back to life OUAT WHHHYYYY

Jafar his anger kept him alive after he was drowned to death.

I think Jafar’s mother was magical…and that ring. So he’s magical but delayed.

Yeah, there was a wafty, wavy, magical pulse special effect, pretty sure it rose up from his mother or the ring when she died, and they used the same effect when Jafar came back to life.

TOTALLY random headcanon but I think her mother might be Morgana

Sounds fair enough to me. Cora already has an association with Lancelot, so why not expand on that.
