Plus, they are ready have ways to break all the laws. Zelena learned how to change the past. Cora had a curse that could make someone "love" you. She could also raise the (I say,near) dead with their hearts. Magical beings escape all the time with enchanted items and spells to sustain them. Um.....well that's all of them.

MAgic is the deus ex machine on this show and has no rules except what the plot dictates (I mean we saw Zelena liquefy or disintegrate Marian, yet she never tried to do that on anyone in season 3b. With that power she could have just killed people left and right without doing complex things.) Even earlier it was shown, in the fight scene at Gold's shop. All that fighting and then Cora just poofs them away.

So, the laws are the same. They are a challenge, until they aren't.
