Or he was able to use the wand only because LILY was pure dark?

BTW, why can't they have Lily using the wand instead of crazily dangerous bloodthirsty Zelena? Lily's blood worked for the ink, she should be the dark required to save Emma. Well, those born with light magic are rare and in my theory, that's why he lives alone and secluded, no friends to protect and no one to love, therefore he keeps his dark magic away from being tainted with the light magic of TL.

He has pure dark magic (remember that Dark magic isn't evil magic, just a type of magic, plus his smoke is grey).

Lily could use the wand, but she has fallen down the plot hole for a while until they get her out. Just a plot contrivance, they want Zelena to go to Camelot so they will use Zelena. Remeber that seasonal plot points don't carry over like the whole "fate entwined" prophecy, lol.
