Emma couldn't let Hook die but it was fine when it was Neal.

Emma can make Hook a dark one by holding a sword over him and think really hard. Why couldn't Rumple do it to Neal. Don't get your hopes up for that to be explained...so much for the show's mythology.

Hook never showed any signs of having darkness in him. where are the voices? where is the magic?

This season stopped making any sense. It was said that the only reason the sword worked to save Hook was because Merlin was attached to it. It transferred Merlin's powers to Hook giving Hook immortality. The only voice that could be in Hooks head would be Merlin as Hook is the second one with powers from that branch. It is also possible that because Merlin never gave into the darkness that he doesn't return as a voice in Hook's head. Just because the show does spell out the mythology for you doesn't mean it ain't there. You clearly missed the part when they said Hook is another Dark One. There is a scene with him coming out of the vault. Go watch the episode again. He is a Dark One yes but from Merlin's branch of power not Nimue. We clearly saw the powers being taken from Merlin and given to Hook.
