Doesn't that mean Rumple (assuming he learnt the spell during his time with Zelena), with the consent of Regina and the Charmings, can repeatedly use the time-travel spell to "fix" stuff?

So for example, Rumple can travel back to a few minutes before Hook and Emma were dragged into the portal, then stop them from going near it - problem solved.

And if any future villain were to appear, Rumple just needs to travel back in time a bit to warn himself and the Charmings so they can prepare and thwart whatever actions the enemy plans to take. Since the Time travel spell is the most strongest and difficult to cast, the one who set up it must be very powerful .Furthermore, it seems that after Zelena was killed, they dont' know the ritual was actually occured and expaned ( I wish someone had destroy the circle on the ground, maybe by that it wouldn't have happened). Until Emma and Hook heard the weird noises and dragged accidentally into the portal
