I think Rumple could come back as the wizard of Oz (so without magic but the others would not be aware of it). Even if he lost his magic it would be a great way to show he can actually help without it. I think if he comes back with magic the sacrifice would lose its meaning.

And Emma could be Glenda. Maybe Rumple/Oz could even teach her magic ?

Any other thoughts on parallels like that ? Henry/Dorothy maybe ?
