Rumple / GOLD plan to suck up all the magic into the hat

[Cinders]

I don’t get how sucking up magic into the hat has anything too do with the dagger. Am I wrong to assume the dagger somehow gets sucked up into the hat? Or, Gold wears the hat which makes him immune from the dagger? I can’t really picture Gold putting on that hat, it’s just weird. I’m bum puzzled as to how I envision it happening.

I get, 100% why Gold will lie, steal and kill to rid himself of that dagger, and I don’t believe for a minute that Gold is only after power. Rumple may have lusted for power over others, but I’m not convinced that Gold still does.

True loves kiss can break any curse, but it can’t break the curse of the Dark One. I believe that Belle truly loves Gold, and vice versa, but still, the kiss can’t break the curse. Which means the dagger stands between any true love that Gold may have ever wanted. The dagger will always present a temptation for a loved one to use against him.

Not forgetting how many times others have tried to use the dagger to control Mr. Gold. August tried it, Cora was willing to kill him for it. He knew his own father would kill him for the dagger. Zelena 100% controlled him. Even his wife was tempted to use the dagger to control him. So I get why Gold has an all consuming desire to rid himself of the dagger, even if that means betraying Belle’s trust.

But how is the hat activated? Fill it with magic until it’s fat enough to suck up the dagger? Release all the magic so the hat sucks up the dagger to fill the void? How does Gold know there’s not enough magic in there already? Will we see a giant whirlpool portal open which sucks up both the dagger and the hat and sends them to ?

Has the sorcerer been waiting for the darkest Dark One to fill his hat with so much magic that he, the sorcerer, actually becomes the most magical being ever. He would control the most powerful of all magic including the Dark One. What’s the sorcerer getting out of this deal? And where is the Sorcerer? Is he in the hat, and that’s why the Apprentice has been guarding it?

I’m assuming magical beings can be released from the hat. The Apprentice is in there, and I doubt OUAT can kill the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, because, well, that’s Micky related! (I once had a stuffed Micky wearing the sorcerer’s hat) But, if the Apprentice can be released, wouldn’t that also imply that the dagger could also be released from the hat at some point in time?
