It's not a spell that requires magic, which is why she could do it. A spell that powerful should certainly require magic. My assumption is that either wands have innate magical power stored within them that anyone can use, or that True Love managed to empower Fiona to cast the spell. That, or simply anyone can use magic, which to be honest, is kind of stupid, because it sets no standards or limits. There are a couple of media in which anyone can use magic with training and skill; the most recent and the one that truly comes to mind is the Buffyverse (FYI, the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a TV show from the late 90s which essentially defined modern television). Anyone with access to knowledge can train to become able to use magic; Rupert Giles and Willow Rosenberg being two of these people.
