Regina would not be bound by the please clause in the fairytale land i think. I think that it was said once they went to the new world that Regina would have to do what he said as long as he said please so if they go back i think that is all off.
[adrotate group="5"]April 29, 2012 at 12:43 am #144542eternalflameParticipantI don’t think Mr. Gold lied about the power of the dagger. But I do think that there are a lot of conflicting rules in regards to magic in Storybrooke. Emma’s presence makes the rules a little unclear. Magic isn’t supposed to exist in Storybrooke, but because of Emma’s presence, it does.
April 29, 2012 at 11:54 am #144597miaParticipantThat brings up the question of what exactly Emma’s power is. I have a feeling her power is making things magical again (e.g. the hat, the compass). She will never be able to actively use magic like Regina or Rumpel, but she somehow triggers the magical attributes of objects or maybe even people. Thus, if Emma got her hands on that dagger, it could very well start working again.

If you’re right (and I suspect that you are), then that makes Emma a very dangerous weapon. Not Emma herself, but the magic that she brings. If she’s able to infuse magic into something without magic, then she could easily be used by someone. Rumpel would be the main candidate for this, since Regina doesn’t even seem to know who she is.

That’s actually a really good point. If Emma isn’t careful, she could fall pray to someone seeking her magic for their own purposes. I would usually place Rumpel or Regina in that catagory, but Rumpel’s main goal is to find his son, and Regina doesn’t know who she is (yet). However, we did just find out that August wants to use her magic to heal his sickness. So, Emma has already fallen victim to someone trying to use her.
This all feeds into my theory that it won’t necessarily be Emma who actively breaks the curse. Rumpel said that Emma will be the “key” to breaking the curse, not the leader or enforcer. Keys need to be held someone. Keys need to go into a lock. Keys are in-and-of themselves, victims. They’re used by people to achieve a certain goal. This could be a hint to what may happen to Emma.
I’ve actually seen this kind of thing in a lot of movies and television shows. Everyone is obsessed with the “magical girl.” Not because of anything she herself has accomplihed, but because she holds some special kind of magic or gene. In this case, Emma has been given magic via the curse. The Vampire Diaries did this, True Blood did this, and a host of other shows and movies. Emma may end up being the sacrifical lamb at the end of this story. Now I’m curious to find out who will be the actual leader of the battle. Who will be guiding (or manipulating) Emma in this fight. After all this talk of Baelfire being Henry’s father, I want to say it’ll be him. The curse is actually about him. The curse’s main objective was to find Baelfire.
Or, it may end up being Henry himself.
April 29, 2012 at 9:26 pm #144650hjbauParticipantI think Emma has done something. She has really started to wake people up in the real world and has helped them become more themselves.
