Guess what the surprise will be! Magic always leaves a residue, as stated by Rumple in the Season 4 deleted scene (I think it was mentioned outside of it, too? but even if it wasn't, I still count it as canon until stated otherwise). Regardless of whether or not Aladdin still has his power, the fact that he did have it was enough to make a connection between Emma and Aladdin. It's more of there being residual magic, or in Emma of 3b's case, never really gone. I'm just saying that I'm betting he still have magic. Hmmm, I guess that sort of makes being the Savior a curse.
