The wand did magical bad things to Regina and Cora stated contrived plot reaso--I mean that her magic harmed Regina, so her magic couldn't help her. Why not get someone you know? Who knows, but Cora determined that Regina needs someone related to her, so likley it was related to blood magic........I dunno

I'll never understand why Regina and Cora are such fans of blood magic, it's obviously total rubbish - and clearly the worst way of keeping something safe from your children. Are there no other ways to lock something with magic so that only you can open it? Protection spells are completely fine, but blood locked, it's nearly impossible for anyone else to get it.

Example: A protection spell can stop Henry Sr. and any weak magician from accessing her magic. Blood locked, the protection spell does that and keep powerful magicians from accessing it. Rumple does blood magic as well with his closet and safe (even though I think he has another way into it).
