It's been my theory 'til now that the dagger can be used to sort of "bypass" what you might otherwise need for a particular task. Like when Gold pulled the Wraith from the Enchanted Forest to Storybrooke. I've been assuming that he'd need some sort of ritual/spell/incantation to achieve that, but, with the power of the dagger, he can skip all that XD
