Losing was easy because they were in a simple fight. Getting it back was hard because she had to struggle since the prize was go great. The parents accidently offend the witch, the child to banished to the dragon's lair, to release her the knight has to fight the dragon to the death. No great pain, no great gain. A good lesson for the kids being told the story.
This discussion has moved into the area of “Genetic Alteration.” Per Wikipedia “Grimm is an American police procedural fantasy television drama series. It debuted in the U.S. on NBC on October 28, 2011. The show has been described as "a cop drama—with a twist... a dark and fantastical project about a world in which characters inspired by Grimms' Fairy Tales exist", although the stories and characters inspiring the show are also drawn from other sources.”
Since Grimm blends real world of (primarily) Portland with fantasy world of Grimm’s Fairytales the TV series is genetically altered. Some of the Grimm Fairytale genes have been introduced into real world characters.
The University of Nebraska provides a brief description of real world genetic engineering:

For Grimm purposes, the real world version of genetic alteration would not produce the viewership that the fantasy version produces. So when Nick kissed Adalind, she bit him and swallowed some Grimm blood. That blue wispy spirit thing leaves her and she is no longer a Hexenbiest. So perhaps the blue wispy spirit was the Hexenbiest genetic code leaving her.
The process Adalind endured in Austria to regain her Hexenbiest powers was rather gross. The mutilation of Frau Pech’s corpse was particularly graphic. Why such an ordeal to undo what seemed relatively simple? It seems that the burial of Frau Pech’s hands, feet, eyeballs and beating heart in the poppy field worked and Adalind regained Hexenbiest. Were those green wispy spirit hands the Hexenbiest genetic code returning?
Why was it so simple for Juliette to be genetically altered into a Hexenbiest? Where was the wispy spirit thing? Maybe the writers left that scene out?

I watched the mini series, Merline a few weeks ago. At the end of the story, Merlin meets up with Nimueh, his true love. They are both old, but Merlin states he has one more spell left, and turns them both young again. At that point he says, 'there's no more magic left'.
What is magic? Is it an illusion, like the tricks the magicians use today? Is it the wispy smoke that leaves Adalind after Nick robs her of her powers? Can it change the DNA of a person, as in Juliette's case?
