Zelena was born with her magic, perhaps she could re-learn witchcraft? Jafar, the Apprentice, Cora, Anastasia (and maybe Regina) all learnt witchcraft but were not necessarily born with magic.

Anyway, she would still have access to potioncraft as you don't need witchcraft for that (as demonstrated by Belle).

Part of me wants her magic back as it completes her character, but another part wants this change to be permanent (or long-lasting) as there are too many strong elements that don't last (character "deaths", Snow and Charming's sleeping curse, etc.) and it would add a new dynamic to her development. There was only one other time she really didn't have magic or a baby to defend herself and that was in Kansas. Gold really jumped on that opportunity and killed her. I guess we'll get to see more of her life without magic unless she miraculously gets it back in the finale.
