Right now, they run the series through chapters or story arcs in which new enemies are introduced, who are all magic users. Before that, one of few stories characters with no magic are Red and Widow Lucas from Little Red Ridding Hood. They introduced Red as both main character and the villain of the story by making her both herself and the big bad wolf. Unless they change the pattern that villains are always magic users, they will run out of evil story character for the heroes to fight in the show. Unless they somehow turn non-magical story villains into magical ones. But if they would do that, they would have kept Captain Hook as the villain instead of turning Peter Pan into one. The problem here is that your saying all villians must be magic users, and using that as a reason why the show can't go on much longer, but Adam and Eddy have never said all villians must be magic users. And besides, we have seen non-magic villians, namely King George, and Greg and Tamara. Furthermore, it is easy enough to take a character like Cruella, and give her magic or magic items. It is for these reasons that the show can go for a very long time. I am definitely not arguing that all villains have to be magic users, it's the pattern they set up. Any non-magic enemies to the heroes of the show are at best, support character to the villains. I definitely would like to see them break the pattern and show us how they would keep running the show without having magic users as villains. Although it's difficult to imagine anyone without magic being a challenge to the heroes. I for one would love it if someone where to suck the magic out of Storybrooke. It would definetely put up chalenges to Emma, Regina and Gold. We do know Henry tried to blow up the wishing well, so perhaps someone else gets a similar idea, I dunno.
