In that case, Belle should just say something like "you're using this magic for the wrong reasons" or "you're in a bad place right now, you shouldn't be using any magic". Or maybe just focus on talking about what specifically is going to be done with the magic, which is the important thing. She could have said something like "let's try talking to Gaston before you use magic to murder him. Oh, and we'll need to magic to break into his locker." I know that using the terms "dark" and "light " is a convenient shortcut, but they're just too broadly defined and vague. Just painting something as dark or light obscures what's really going on. The problem wasn't that Rumple wanted to use "dark magic, it was that he wanted to kill someone. That's what they should focus on, the action.
