This sounds cheap, but it really does boil down to what the writers want to use Rumple for. I can easily see them still wanting evil sorcerer around than I can see Rumple re-learning magic or being able to use it (much weaker) and pretending he can't perform it to scheme. I could also see them trying to use this plot to clean the slate with Rumple not remembering anything about the last centuries of being the Dark One and have be who he was before.
