Esk posted in the following in the Spoiler's forum (a slightly off topic comment for the thread that it was pulled from:

"Yeah, there are three categories: Born, Taught, or Cursed and Zelena falls into born with it, yet she has no affinity for anything and apparently we've never known anyone to be born with Witchcraft abilities without an affinity.

Apprentice, Cora, and Regina were all taught. So, either Zelena was born with it, like Emma and Ingrid, or Zelena as a baby was taught the skills of witchcraft........XD"

I'll add a forth category, which is similar to cursed which is "blessed".

so in the categories we have (I'll include Wonderland):

born: Emma, Ingrid, Elsa, Zelena, Ursula, Poseidon, Nyx, Blue, Tinker Bell, Nova, Silvermist, and all other fairies. And I got the impression Amara falls into this category as well.

taught: Regina, Cora, Ana, Jafar

Cursed: Rumple, Cyrus (and his brothers), Will Scarlet (in genie form), Dark Killian, Nimue, Zoso, (and other Dark Ones), Cruella, Pan

Blessed: Merlin

We know nothing of the Blind Witch, Maleficent, the Genie (Sidney Glass), Glinda (or the other Oz witches), other than that they were magical.

Anyone have different thoughts, or other comments?
