ParticipantIt makes you in a coma like state, forget who you are, kills you, or puts you in a coma, stops your heart. To a fairy tale character with magic, what would it do?

KeymasterI’m wondering if it won’t take Regina’s magic, if she’ll be powerless. The taser may not work on her because she’s not a magical creature. She had to learn magic. The Dragon and Pinocchio were magical to begin with.

ParticipantAdam said on Twitter that usually you have to be born with a spark and then trained in magic. So, I’d say that it’s likely that Regina was always capable of magic. Likewise Cora.
Whether that makes her a magical creature or not is another question.

ParticipantI would hate for another character to lose their memories, but maybe she loses some of her powers making her less of a threat to the people of Storybrooke.

ParticipantWith both Rumple and Regina, I think the only way they’re going to improve for the better is by giving up dark magic, whether willingly or unwillingly. Both are addicted to magic and both have chosen it over love before.

ParticipantI think Cora’s spellbook is going to come into play at some point. Regina has it locked up at her house. What if Regina loses her magic but uses the book to kickstart her powers again, only this time she suffers some side effects that Rumple had warned her about.
How about if Tamara found the spellbook and she tried to steal the magic from it but instead suffered the nasty side effects.
All magic comes with a price!

Yeah we haven’t seen that spellbook in some time, not since “We are Both” I believe. And since H and K want to tie the beginning of the season together with the end, bringing back the book is one way.

ParticipantFor now I doubt Rumpelstilskin will willingly give up his power, he didn’t do it for Belle nor his son back then I don’t see why he would do it now. And don’t seem to want to give it up. And don’t tell me he has grown up. Because he don’t, or not that much at all.
So should he ever lose it, it won’t be by his own doing, it will be by force. And if actual Rumpel lose his power he won’t let it go like that, I think he will fight to take it back. Same for Regina. So if those two refuse to become like anyone else, if they don’t accept to live without magic, then no improving, no better man/woman, no redemption completed, no nothing.

ParticipantThere are some misconceptions about ECT (Electroconvulsive therapy), many probably still mostly having in mind what has been shown in the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, be it by having seen the movie or by rumours (they already did a nod to this movie with a Nurse Ratched look-alike as nurse and a Chief Broom look-alike mopping the floor in the basement fo the hospital), but that is not so important. My guess is what they do here on the show has as much to do with it as the taser Tamara used has to with a real taser – not much.
Why shouldn’t the taser work on Regina as well? All we know so far is, that it kills even a being that seem to have some strong magic like the Dragon. Would it serve Tamara’s agenda at the moment to kill Regina? If she is only a tad bit smart right now getting more information about Storybrooke and magic in Storybrooke should be of more interest to her, opening the door to the source of magic instead of gathering bits here and there (if that is something the taser does or some other tool she has or anything she has on her agenda). What Greg wants is quite obvious at the moment, he wants to know where is father is, what happens to him, killing Regina would not be any helpful.
So what might they be doing there with the “shock therapy” they seem to do in one of the upcoming episodes? Torture, extracting information, using Regina as test subject to see, what the machine could do to someone with powerful magic, extracting magic, rendering her temporary powerless (somewhat doubt it will last right away, if they do it, not sure if a magic-less Regina is yet a good story line).
Like the idea with bringing the Spellbook back into play. Whatever way.
