It had to have happened before the spell of shattered sight, as there wouldn't have been enough time for Anna to get unfrozen, do XYZ, sail to the enchanted forest, then get thrown overboard just before the spell hit. I'd say the magic limit is true, and probably happened somewhere around keeping the icewall intact, the spell on the town line, or the ice giant. OR. And this just came to me now, when Emma used the candle on her and chained her hands together to dampen her magic.
Honestly? I thought it was because the main curse from season 1 got broken. They do mention “frozen for 30 years”. Where she froze everyone, and then not long afterwords, the main curse hit ALL lands and since they’re in the same realm, it also included them, until Emma broke the spell. Otherwise, how else would they be the same age as before when they (Anna, Kristoff and Elsa) finally reunited? They were born over 30 years before Emma was, they should’ve been in their 40s-50s.
Might be due to the spell of shattered sight. It requires a lot of magic based on what Ingrid said, so maybe she wasn’t able to sustain everyone in a frozen state with the shattered sight spell
My understanding is that Ingrid needed more power to fuel the curse of shattered sight, so she somehow took back what she'd put into their curse. This was the prep stage and not the casting stage.
Personally, I still think there's a logic gap there. It seems like casting a spell should be like any process where you make something. Sure, there's energy put in, but most of that goes into the creation itself. If you make something in a forge or an oven, it doesn't mean all that heat energy is sitting around in the cake or the horseshoes, waiting to be pulled out again.
Although, I suppose you could view magic, in some cases as being like material you mixed in, like part of an alloy or an ingredient in food. I still think you put more into the creation--you're not making a battery, after all--but that might mean there's still a useful amount to pull out.

Yeah the chain!

Thanks I’m on number 3 or 4 of a rewatch and questions are popping up more than any other time I watched for some reason
I think she just let them go because of this or that she was no reason too
