It is possible though that this man does have access to what he believes is magic. Unless that "before the curse" on the synopsis is an actual typo as what KungAvSand says, what you're saying about the curse still does not make sense. Unless child Pinocchio was that lucky to meet someone when he was little to figure out a way to keep from turning back to wood. Was he already turning back to wood shortly after he turned his back on Emma? The promos show an already adult August seeking out the Dragon...

The synopsis is the whole reason I was under the impression the Dragon is an Enchanted Forest character. The whole "before the curse" thing in which he seeks out someone to help him not turn back to wood.
