I'm talking about the ability to manipulate that power source.
I'm positing that someone who's given up their magic has lost the tools to manipulate and shape that power source. Just like, for instance, a talented, experienced surgeon can no longer perform surgery if you took away their hands.

Dr. Strange could have :D

Maybe someone else recalls it, or knows where it ended up.

Didn't Lasciel have information from Lash from her time in Harry? In SG didn't Lasciel say somethings that only lash would know? been a while since I read SG so I cannot remember correctly.

Honestly I very nearly name-dropped him as the example.

Well, they could if they found the right master... or should I say, Ancient One... ::)

Jim said that anyone who works hard can learn some magic. I think that it has less to do with forgetting, or being unable to tap into it once again after too long. I think it has to do with Choice. You have to really believe in what you're doing with magic for it to work. If you make the choice that you don't want to do magic anymore, you're basically neutering the most important requirement, belief.
Molly's mother for example. She can no longer do magic. However if some change in her happened where she had a strong desire, and absolute determined to use magic again, I think she'd get it back. It would take a lot of time to get her full power back probably. Years, or maybe a decade of work.
