I'll use the school example. You want to leave in the middle of a lesson. IT costed you precious time to get the set up ready for you to depart. You leave the class in the middle of the lesson. You go do whatever it is you wanted (although it wasn't exactly what you wanted) and there's no consequences for you the next day. You know have some advantage that you now had that you've just discovered.

That right there describes Zelena and the time travel spell. She spent time and found the ingredients (a cost), performed the spell eventually, and when all was said and done, what real consequences did she have? She didnd't get what she wanted, but she had a new way to bring agony to Regina and even Rumple. Yes, let's discuss how that isn't broken at all.
