Here's the thing, I think that almost anyone on this show, who chooses to learn magic on this show is capable of it. I think that all of the magic wielders are capable of light magic on this show are capable of light magic too if they open up their hearts to it, even Rumplestiltskin. It would be interesting to see him use it at some point, but as long as he's the Dark One I don't think it's possible. was just a normal guy before the curse, even less than that considering that he was the crippled and outcast coward of his town. Darkwasn't an innate talent for his father, either, but they live in a world surrounded by magical elements and beings, which affected them, giving them magic. Cora was just a regular young woman before Rumplestiltskin taught her magic, Regina almost didn't know anything about using magic before she met Rumple,just what she saw her mother do. I feel like anyone can learn magic, but whether it's light or dark depends on the person's heart. Zelena seems to be an exceptional case that was just born of dark magic. I don't know how she had it as a baby. Maybe, it was environmental or maybe Cora dabbled in magic before she was born, but there really is no explanation.
