And now Regina, a "hero", can weild the wand after learning to "believe in herself"?

They're contradicting themselves something horrible. Not really.... because the Apprentice was practicing magic longer, than the Dark One was in existance. If anything, the wand represents neutral and balanced magic. Was he, though? We only see him attending to Merlin and showing Merlin some clients. No evidence points to him having magic prior to Nimue's transformation. In fact, his only time using magic in those flashbacks is aiding Merlin to tether Nimue.

If anything, the "equal parts light magic and equal parts dark magic" used to create the wand, was probably Nimue and Merlin struggling somewhere.
