I agree with the idea that Maleficent learned magic, especially because of her staff (with I think that is what makes her magic work). I think the Oz witches were born with magic, cause I got the impression that to be a Guardian of Oz, you had to be born with it, and the Book of Records have to say that it's you the one.

About the Blind Witch, I ithink she was cursed, and to keep her magic she had to eat children, since the children are pure (?). And the others:

Born: Zelna, Emma, Elsa, Ingrid, Nyx, Ursula and others mermaids, fairies and Amara.

Taught: Regina and Cora (by Rumple), Anastasia (by Cora) and Jafar (by Amara).

Cursed: Dark Ones, Genie, Cruella, Pan, Merlin

I think that the terms "Blessed " and "Cursed" are realitives with the person we are talking about,  like it's  said the Pan was "cursed" and Merlin "blessed ", but both like their powers (Pan more than Merlin, I think ) so Pan wouldn’t consider himself "cursed", neither would Cruella, Rumple and Nimue. Zoso, Emma (as the dark one), Dark Killian and the Genies, by the other side, would rather not have tha powers, so they would consider themselfs cursed.
