In Emma’s case, unlike Regina, Rumpel and Cora, I don’t magic consuming her and becoming corrupted by it.
The thing that binds Regina, Rumpel and probably Cora was a need to know magic. Rumpel needed it to protect his son, Regina wanted to learn it so she could bring back Daniel and though we have yet to learn why Cora needed it, it probably had something to do with keeping Regina as a child.
[adrotate group="5"]As long as humans dont try to control it it’s fine. When they use it as a power to get something thats when it goes wrong.
I don’t think Emma will become corrupted by magic. Rumple, Regina and Cora rely on magic to solve all their problems whereas Emma is capable of solving her problems without it.
Emma’s magic activated when she saved Snow from Cora and when she was trying to find out the truth of Archie’s “murder” for Regina’s sake. Both times Emma used magic to help someone else.
I don’t think Emma can use her magic in the way that Cora, Rumple and Regina can use theirs.
All magic comes with a price!

Ok, see but the problem I have with the magic = evil thing is this–where does that leave Emma? She has magic that is part of her. She didn’t ask for it, didn’t pursue it, she simply was born that way (reference intentional).
Maybe the magic that is simply part of Emma’s natural existence is not corrupting.
Similarly, the giants grow magic beans, but didn’t seem (in the short time we saw them) to be corrupted by their association with the beans’ magic.
Wouldn’t it be better for her to control it than to let it act on its own? In the fight against Cora/Regina/etc, wouldn’t it be better for her to use this powerful tool against them? After all, Emma’s magic comes from true love, which is the cure for curses–can true love corrupt? Can something resulting from true love be evil by nature?
Love of course is not evil by nature. But if the exercise of magic (for the good cause of love) leads to terrible pride, then maybe it’s better not used at all.
