Considering Gold has a collection of magic, I was not surprised that he could do that. Foreshaowing is a thing. Magic systems don't work as well as storytelling doesn't work when you oull things out of nowhere.

The show loves to use Chekov's Gun. They could have had Emma a conduit potion when she was planning to do the Darkness tranferring spell. Then, Rumple using it wouldn't have come out of nowhere.
