In S1E12, Rumple panics when Belle's true love's kiss begins to strip him of his Dark One curse and the powers that come with it. He implies that without his Dark One-ness, the Evil Queen would be more powerful than him.

But we've seen perfectly non-magical characters like Belle perform basic locator spells. So exactly what powers does the Dark One curse give Rumple? What abilities is he so afraid of losing?
