Magical items can be used in LWM, so I think that question has been answered.

We seen a number of people use their magic in the LWM, so obviously the Guardian isn't the only one. We've seen TLKs, the Dragon, Emma, etc. I thought it was made clear how the Dragon used his powers? Belief.

I'd say the Savior and the Guardian always have access to their magic, while others can use their magic via magical items or with strong enough Belief. I'd agree. (Though not with the wiki's definition of belief as 7 has shown that Belief/Love is like a critieria to doing magic aka Drizella's heart full of belief before she gave into her pain and anger.)

Caveat being that, the writers never had Rumple, Regina, etc use their magic though after the meeting the Dragon they should know how. Gothel has some small level of magic currently in LWM, while Ivy showed none, despite even that, her magic was able to be taken. (Also, appears that Light Magic remains intact.)

I do agree overall, just the presentation of some things are peculiar. For Light Magic remaining intact, do you mean Anastasia, the Guardian, because she seems like the only one with magic in Seattle/Hyperion Heights as the Guardian?
