Gonna remove spoiler because Spoiilers go on the Spoilers Board. Also, none of this has any spoilers.

In-show answer: Lucky draw. Quick wits, Weaver’s hesitance, etc. Weaver doesn’t want to use magic, Rumple used the cuff and placed him in the wall. In the other cases, I guess Rumple was too slow.

Real answer: The show would have no tension (and it really doesn’t) when you have the strongest players on the hero side.

Overall, Once’s magic system is a very cool thing that was improperly executed.

The dead DO’s should technically have never had any power in the first place, so Weaver should only have 2x DO power from Ninue’s line and from Merlin’s line (via Hook).
