See, maybe I missed something then because I never got the implications that they had specifically the same powers. Yes they both gained immortality from the grail but both characters showed different powers. I mean Merlin managed to create grass and woodland and even buildings without conscious thought. I mean if Nimue had that kind of power I would have assumed she would have rebuilt her village or something. I aways thought you gain immortality and the use of magic, not the same magic because surely all sorcerers and sorceresses would have the same magic and not have to specifically need to learn spells or learn different types of magic and have magic abilities different from others. Like Jafar would have the teleportation in a puff of smoke power the same as Regina.

I believe Merlin had to learn his gift of foresight and he learns that his magic is powerful but he doesn't specifically traverse through to different lands, he generates magical artifacts that can travel through space. Like the door etc because that may have been carved from an enchanted tree. I believe also that Merlin did not leave Camelot to contact Emma as the usher. I think that was more of an astral projection. Nimue may have gained magic but in her case her first use of magic was dark, this may also have tainted her magic meaning she lost any powers she got from the grail (excpet for immortality) that she may have shared with Merlin.

I am more conerned with why would Rumple need to have the power of traveling through worlds when there are so so so many ways to travel. Considering the difficuty he had to find a method to travel and he decides the best and easiest and perfect solution was to cast a dark curse. How come the bloody blue fairy didn't tell him there are other ways to get to the LWM. She is the culprit, it was ALL her fault lol.
