And any inquisitive nature or confusion.....remember Rumple's infamous phrase....no, not Magic comes with a price, but "Your questions are pointless." Haha I suppose, I'm glad we're not using the magic coming with a price phrase because it doesn't even make sense anymore.

At first, it was simply that if you wanted magic you went to Rumple and paid a price. Or if you cast a spell like the Dark curse you pay the price for it (or in other words, you use ingredients - "the price of cake is flour and eggs"). Then sometimes Rumple gives his services for free, and it becomes apparent that magic in general comes with a price, not just Rumple's magic. Then at some point I think it was Emma who said sometimes not using magic has a price too. By now I think they're basically just saying that every action has consequences, magic or not. Either way, the phrase has lost all meaning.
