Magic HAS to work in the LWM - otherwise Storybrooke's curse could not function, yes?

I think the issue is that there is no 'natural' sources of Magic in the LWM. Everything/anything magical has to be imported. Think of this way - Hawaii has no petroleum resources to make gasoline (be a bit pointless to build an oil refinery or build oil wells) - however, that doesn't mean that imported gasoline won't work in the cars there.
