Please, don't use random abbreviations, acronyms, and shortened words. It makes the message hard for some to understand. Even using accepted abbreviations (SB for Storybrooke, LWM for Land Without Magic, etc) can sometimes confuse a message. Messages will be deleted if they are too confusing.

For the record, stories like Operation Mongoose would be call Alternate Universe, or AU. That is, to my understanding, the more accepted and understood abbreviation.

Now back to the topic at hand. It remains to be seen what Gold can or cannot do. Anyone can use magic, and even without the Darkness, Gold has had approximatly 3 centuries experience using and teaching magic. He knows how it's done.

Now, Here is a thought. What if Rumple is awoken with TLK (a distinct possibility in this situation). The deep emotion of Love could awaken any light potential that he has, and he could quite easily become a powerful light magician. (That's all pure conjecture).
