Giving Belle the same affliction would just twist Rumbelle in sad, sickening ways. would it though? Did Merlin *Poof* to the vault? Did Nimue *Poof* to the vault? I think the vault is tied to the dagger, and Excalibur after Zelena used it to tether Merlin, and it is that tethering that resulted in the vault and the *poofing*. Also, Rumple did not *Poof* to the vault when he regained the DO powers. And while the Dagger he has still (apparently) retains the controlling/tethering power, it can't be the original one, because Excalibur was complete and destroyed when Emma killed Killian.

And giving Belle the same affliction would not have to be sickening, IF she took Merlin's method of dealing with the HG Magic.

Still, as I said, the idea is way out there. Yes, HG magic is full of holes, so Swiss is mostly the case XD

I know I should know better than to hold thw writers up to consistency, but as of......nevermind, Rumple didn't go back to the vault in the finale. So, ignore everything I just said because "a vial of magic" keeps these questions away. Too many questions, but I know "your questions are pointless."

If we only knew beyond a vial of magic how Rumple got some new dagger and how all of it worked......I'm not going to hold my breath XD
