She'd heard that, magic and emotions being tied, and she understood the method in it. It made sense considering how she'd been using her magic too, Regina's lessons, fighting Gold, there'd always been an underlying emotional response to thing too. "So, I need to find my connection to my magic, then I'll... I'll be able to use it better?"
So far there was nothing overly stable about Emma's use, she was learning, slowly. But she didn't always believe the way she was told she needed to. Regina had told her she needed to believe that she could do something before she'd be able to, but there was a disconnect between Emma knowing and Emma believing. "Passion, huh." Her fireballs against Gold had been to protect Neal. There was definitely enthusiasm and passion in that.
"How long have you been practising?" Was that the right way to put it? Emma was really trying to not put things with the usual stereotypical witch craft or wiccan terminology here.
