However, potion making has been something we've seen more often done by Mr. Gold/Rumple than the Blue Fairy./Mother Superior. I could be wrong but as far as I know the Blue Fairy never created a potion on screen before. At least I haven't seen her doing such a thing.

I also wonder, why written 'cloak spell' instruction (to keep  Storybrooke's existence in secrecy - just in case ) must come from Mr. Gold. It's said that the Blue Fairy is as powerful as he is (they're just using different 'sides' of magic) why can't she create a spell hiding Storybrooke from view? Gold created the town and as long as the curse worked the town was invisible for outsiders (besides Owen and Kurt who were in the town before it was even there). Is that why it has to be his magic to hide Storybrooke again? Good question. Maybe it's just like you said. Storybrooke was created by dark magic, so maybe it can be protected only with dark magic. It's a bit similar case as in the episode 1x05, where Rumple created the potion that turned Gepetto's parents into puppets, and Blue Fairy couldn't turn them back into human beings.

But on the other hand, Belle and and Sneezy's wrong memories were created by dark magic, so how could they be undone by the Blue Fairy, then? And it was the dark magic that turned prince Philip into Yaokugai, right? And still it was the fairy dust that turned him back into human. Perhaps the Blue Fairy is playing her own game, or maybe it's just a plot hole or a flaw....
