The Seer's powers were given to Rumple(vessel), not the Dark One.

He could have lost it upon ressurection again......everything is unclear how well he sees things anyhow. He attempted to use it in Neverland, but couldn't because it was a land outside of time moving. He hasn't ever tried looking into the future, so I assume he doesn't have it.

In theory, it should be a curse (The Seer's curse) for the vessel to bear, tied to it's life. So, since Rumple died and was resurrected in darkness...I think he lost it.

We could replace the Dark One's curse page with The Darkness, also known as the Dark One's curse...but we don't know enough about it yet to conclude they are the same.

Emma being female wouldn't affect the Dark Curse, lol. The Darkness has no gender. The real thing is that a being with powerful magic joining with the most powerful dark magic which should be unstoppable, but I think that it'll be like Rumple's beginnings.. small things and then the desent into darkness, amplifying your worst traits.

I don't know why the Darkness (demon) possess the Apprentice, but sat around Regina for like ten minutes swirling. Emma allowed it to join her, while the rest just stood and let it gather around them.

The Darkness isn't a virus as most think it is, but it's a delayed parasite. You shelter the darkness and it provides you immortality and immense power. The power can and it tends to corrupt those who sucumb to the dakness and when the darkness grows, so does the power of the Darkness within you. Then, eventually there will be a point where you'll drive your heart to the brink of darkness, then it pushes you over and possesses you. (I say this because you can't blame the Darkness for Rumple's wrongdoings. It was his wrongdoings that led his heart to the brink and then the Darkness just was going to push him over!) Lol, Should have jusst took out his heart...I worked for Cora!
