Also, Cora knew Regina was trying to push her and every magic user ever (Jafar, Mal, Zelena, Ingrid, etc) can tell if someone has potential for magic. She even taught someone afterwards. She just underestimated that that would happen, but still Regina overpowered her spell. They never said magical, but if you can tell me where I'll gladly check. It's like when Rumple said final battle, an actual magic and sword battle didn't commence. Ap was likely not freed simply for plot reasons. I assume so because they seemingly forgot about him and their whole plan. Their plan was free the faires, then free the apprentice. SO, maybe soon they'll free him and he'll probably be helpful against Rumple's plan. Because the final battle only make sense to occur near the end of the story like the final season. Its apply loosely like he didn't say after the first curse is broken the final battle will begin, but we seen that there had been many curses, like the dark curse was cast 3 times already. so its loosely applied, and we also know that Rumple's vision isn't accurate, for the sake of me making sense, take the first seer as an example, he said your action at the battlefield will leave the child fatherless, and that was very vague, so rumple's "final battle will begin after the curse is broken" is vague as well.
