I thought Emma's strong light magic came out of her being the product of true love, but now in season 5 we saw Aladdin using light magic. So, light magic is a characteristic all saviors possess? Weather they are the product of true love or not? It's a retcon. Previously Emma's power was because she was the product of true love. Consistently were Adam and Eddy asked is XXXX magical because they are the product of true love? I think around season 4 they came up with the idea that there's "Savior Magic" and later on we see (currently) that there are more Saviors and they all have magic.

It's now pretty much, Because you are the savior, you will have light magic.

Or maybe all saviors have light magic, but Emma's light magic is stronger because she is the product of true love? I mean we do know that some light magic users are stronger than others. In season 3 when everyone was trying to stop the wicked witch, Glinda and the Fairies couldn't stop her because their magic was not "A provider of the strongest light magic" which comes from true love, but Emma was able to hurt Zelena when she tried to kill Henry. Just a thought. Nothing says that Emma's light magic is anything different from Aladdin's. Glinda never showed any real light magic (she literally just poofed twice). If all light magic users have white smoke, then I guess so. Once has a terrible make up as you go magic system that this shouldn't really be a question. Emma's also the product of the truest love, but what is that based on? Snow and David love each other, but I can't see how their love is declared the strongest ever.
