As far as what Emma is doing to Regina, my guess is that Emma created that curse so that someone else could "rise" as a savior. I'm guessing that nobody was able to free Merlin from the tree and it's pretty clear (as stated by Arthur) that only the savior could release Merlin. In a twisted way to provoke that, Emma might have embrase darkness for that sole purpose, forcing someone else to become a savior. I'm guessing that it will be Henry, not Regina. I doubt that, since we have seen some behind-the-scenes images of Merlin and Emma conversing in Camelot with Emma clearly not having embraced the darkness yet.
