Not that dramatic, but magic has rules and should have limitations and there are some instances that we miss the nuances of magic, but there are other times when questions arise. Some are limited by plot, but sometimes it just border "Why didn't you do that earlier" logic.

For example, Emma as the most powerful Dark One teleported people (some being miles away), changed their clothes, took their memories, knocked out a Dark One, and conjured the enchanted cuff. A great sign of power and was sort of done because that's how the present day starts for 5a. A counterpoint would be season 2 where Regina and Cora fight through the Charming clan and it ends with Cora poofing Neal and Emma miles away. Why don't you start with that? When do you tire?

Now, there's no expectation of well-built magic system filled wit "Da Rules", but we encountered an issue with Regina's magic in the Underworld. I honestly thought they wouldn't be able to use magic in the Underworld and was excited to see that plot point, but eventually I was reminded that Emma used magic just the episode before.

Is there some confidence issues within Regina? Didn't we solve that soemhow in 5a? Will this plot point be addressed eventually?

I know, "Your questions are pointless"., but it reeks of "Magic is diffferent here" without anyone noticing a thing besides Regina.
