I don't understand why Gold lost all his powers, He may not be The Dark One but he has all the memories and you don't need to be The Dark One to have magic. Regina,Cora,Jafar,Amara, and numerous others just "learned" to do it. Heck in Jafar's case he wasn't "sought out" like Gold did with his apprentices but he sought out a teacher implying magic is not an inherent ability
