Horrifying Implications of Magic Coming to Storybrooke

As we learned from the finale, magic's coming back to all of the fairy tale characters, which is good and bad. Good because, let's face it, magic makes everything more interesting. Bad because certain characters (Regina) are going to use it for evil (Regina). Following is a breakdown of all the things that could/probably will go down once the purple mist clears:
  • Regina's going to have her powers back, notably the ripping hearts out bit. So Emma needs to stay out of arm's reach.
  • Ruby/Red's gonna have to dig out that old cloak unless she feels like eating everyone. 
  • Mr. Gold's going to turn back into a frog prince with Edward Cullen skin instead of the more attractive more Robert-Carlyle-resembling Rumpelstiltskin we've all come to fangirl over.
  • In this same vein, Belle's going to be piiiiiiissed that Rumpelstiltskin didn't learn his lesson about not putting his loved ones before his lust of power. Hopefully this is all for Baelfire or else we're going to need some magical Jerry Springer up in here.
  • Archie's going to be a cricket again, or at the very least realize that he WAS a cricket. Poor guy.
  • Prince James is going to realize he cheated on Snow. Abigail's going to realize she cheated on Frederick. Snow's going to realize she went out on a date with whoever Dr. Whale is. All in all, very confusing and probably some b-slaps being handed out regardless of curse amnesia.
  • People are going to be able to leave Storybrooke all willy nilly. Not only is this a control issue ("Where'd Hansel and Gretel go again?"), but a safety one. Because what tourist doesn't want to visit a magical town full of fairy tale creatures.
  • People are going to be able to come into Storybrooke.
  • Sidney's going to be a mirror, or at the very least a genie. A genie who grants wishes. A genie whose lamp is with Rumpelstiltskin.
  • The royal family in general's going to have relational issues. Emma is roommates with her mother, Henry is (was) being raised by his great-grandmother and lord help us if Baelfire happens to be Henry's father (as theorized by fans)...
It'll be interesting to see whether Henry or Emma get magical powers, though due to James and Snow not having powers this is unlikely. But hey, Emma's the savior.
