I'm still fairly convinced Cora and Ana learned magic, and anyone with the proper effort can. "Oh, they might have had long-distanced genes" is a leap of faith. Regina also seems to assume she can teach Henry. It's generally a nonconclusive discussion until OUAT comes up with a canon official answer for it.

I have watched Once up to the episode they revive Amara. Then I sort of gave up. I miss the Jabberwocky. I thought she was some kind of alternate Dark One, since her powers were also tied to a blade, but that is not the case.
