I really think that the only way to save Emma is for her to choose to be saved by giving up the power herself, probably in some sort of sacrifice. What the impetus for that is remains to be seen, but it’s likely a heady combo of Henry, Snow/Charming, Regina, and Hook being threatened by some thing so Big and Bad that it triggers the humanity in Emma.
Something really didn’t add up in 5×2. Last week Emma was desperate to be rid of the dark power after she nearly killed Merida, but this week she wanted to keep it after she healed Robin? But Emma was already able to use her light magic to heal people (Emma healed her mother in 4×21 when Lily accidentally hurt Snow). So why on earth would Emma want to keep the dark power to heal people when she already had the ability to heal with light magic??? That makes no sense whatsoever. It’s not like Rumple, who was powerless to begin with before he killed Zoso; prior to becoming the dark one, Emma, as true love incarnate, was already arguably on her way to becoming the most powerful white magician ever if she’d continued her magical training with Regina. So, Emma shouldn’t have had the same motivation to keep the dark magic as did Rumple, since she already has all the white magic.
Does Emma still possess light magic though? Based on her reaction to her own magic in Episode 2, I’m inclined to believe that the Dark One Curse wiped out all of her light magic, and now all she possesses is dark magic….which makes me so confused because she’s still the incarnation of True Love.

Look at the color of magic Emma uses when she heals Robin, though. It’s bright white/yellow. That’s how all light magic has been depicted, including Emma’s own as recent as S4. Now that could just be some sort of editing snafu, but it’s visually confusing.

So Emma still has her light magic….then why doesn’t she want to use any of her magic if she knows how to pull her light magic from her dark magic? Is it because it still triggers the “I want all magic power” that every Dark One seems to face at one point of their life? Perhaps being power hungry is a side effect of being the Dark One?
And yeah, that yellow light is definetly Emma’s light magic because if you look at Rumple healing Belle, his is purple meaning dark one magic.

I think Emma still has her innate light magic. Remember, true love can break any curse and Emma is true love personified. Come to think of it, Emma will probably just use her own white magic to break her own dark-one curse since I think her own true-love magic is greater than the dark-one magic.

Yeah…but Emma still has light power, because she’s already a sorceress. So why is she still power hungry? She doesn’t need dark magic to do powerful (good) deeds, as we’ve seen in S2-S4. Even if she were to give up her dark one magic, she still would be able to do light magic (i.e. she wouldn’t be powerless like Rumple presumably would be). Why would she want to pay the price of dark magic when light magic doesn’t require said price? *heads desk*
