And if it's what Auntie Vanilla and Rumple want, then there's no way that that particular spell is going to remove her powers. As far as I can tell, Ingrid wants Emma to have her powers, and to be feared by others because of them. And who knows what Rumple is up to. No Good, I am sure, but taking Em's powers, I get the feeling, is NOT in his best interest.

I just had a terrifying thought. What if Strong Magic (maybe even light magic in particular) is needed in order to fully activate the Mirror. Then, what Rumple may very well be up to is tricking Emma into completing the the Shattered sight spell, and setting the mirror to be smashed.

Oh man, I can't wait to see this episode now. It looks like the manure is going to hit the proverbial rotating blades.
