What do you think the odds are of Rumple having had something to do with Excalibur & Arthur, and maybe even being Merlin's magic teacher??? The 3.02 flashback implied, that Merlin was a benevolent mage.... re: good magic. While I would not be surprised if Rumplestiltskin knew Merlin (since he knows everyone), I highly doubt he trained him. Now the possibility that Rumplestiltskin trained Morgan Le Fay, is a different story. ;)
