I mean Snow and Charming went through the purest heart door, so I say PLOT!

I think it requires a pure heart, but it's easier to manipulate a blank slate, confused old man than to do anyone else.

Speaking of which, she could just have Belle pull the sword in exchange for Rumple. (I totally could be a smarter villain and just lie to them, look normal, and then claim to be destroying the darkness and get Charming or Belle or whomever to pull the sword, take it, teleport away and combine the dagger and the sword.
