Both Regina and Cora before Rumple didn't know anything about magic and after he taught them they became the ones that they are now. Rumple relied on Dark One Magic and before becoming the Dark One he also didn't know about magic. You see knowladge is power. So we haven't see him even try at his current state (where he has centuries of knowladge). Also, since he is in a blank state that means taht he can choose to be good or dark and that affects his magic too.
