Her lie detection is if i recall correct magic she used subconsciously when she was working as a bounty huntress. Ingrid also trained her magical sister when they went to that carnival and Emma's light magic was messing up the crane machine. As Edzz said in the comment above she powered the dreamcatcher. When Emma gave birth to Hnery her light magic messed with the lights. In pilot when she drives into town she also messes up the lights. Her magic consciously revealed itself when cora tried to take her heart but was blasted away by the light magic. So yeah pretty much emma has had her magic since well i think she was birn.
