I've always thought magic was something only fairies and other creatures had but men eventually learned to use it, because magic comes from nature so they just have to canalize it throught their emotions. So, probably anyone could learn to use magic but there are people that are much more sensitive to develop it in a higher level, like Emma just because she is the product of true love, Regina because of the anger she had with Snow, Cora because of her ambition, Zelena because learning she was abandonded and her sister was to become Queen, etc. And other people probably just have magic because it is part of their races characterisitics: for example Rumple gained instant powerful magic when he became the Dark One, Blue has magic because she is a fairy, Maleficent probably has magic because she was once a fairy (just a theory), etc.
