-Graham being alive without his heart

-Regina controlling Graham with the heart

-Regina and Jefferson opening the hat's portal

-Storybrooke cloaking spell

-Time being frozen

-Sleeping curse working on Henry after eating the apple turnover

-Regina preparing a forgetting potion after adopting Henry

All of this requires magic... so there was magic in Storybrooke before 1x22. Well excuse me for not getting everything down right. I know there was certain amounts of magic in Storybrooke. When Regina was in her vault she could do more I was wondering I know she controlled Graham with his heart but could she actually rip out a heart? I know certain things could be done before Mr. Gold brought magic to Storybrooke but magic had it's limits.
