I know that sounds weird, but for example, Graham's heart was able to be used because Regina had it before the curse and it came over. Same with the potion. Rumpel had Charming put the potion in Maleficent before the curse, so all he needed to do was have Emma retrieve it in Storybrooke. Same with Regina using the hat. I think she even made a comment in the episode about using her last little bit of magical trinkets to make the hat work. I may be wrong, but that's been my understanding of the situation. So then it goes back to my original question; if Rumpel could go to the Victorian England and Land w/out Color, why didn't he go to Land Without Magic? You can go to lands like Victorian England and Land Without Color easily because they are story realms. Bae was sent to the Land Without Magic (aka our world or the real world), which is very hard to get to. Traveling to there has become easier since StoryBrooke was made with Regina's Dark Curse (as well as Gold adding magic at the end of Season 1), which is why Rumple needed someone to cast it in the first place. It was his only easy option to get to the LWM.
