The problem I have with making a list is ouat magic ranking system sucks. You have magic users that have basically no showing or feats like pan and the blue fairy, who are considered powerful by most people. You also have magic users like Regina and jafar(with staff) who have done impressive things, hass good feats, and is extremely skilled but both are considered weak. Then you have the people like Emma and rumple who has done things but nothing mind blowing, but the show tells us they are extremely powerful. So, do I put pan, who has done basically nothing, ahead of Regina, the person who beat him, stopped him from getting Henry's heart, and has way better feats. Do I put Emma ahead of jafar, even though jafar has way better feats and has way more skill, because she's the saviour. That doesn't make sense to me. And then 99% of the fight scenes are clearly influenced by pis or cis.

Emma vs Regina- Emma had time to dodge Regina's only attack and free herself from the bands, get herself together, and attack Regina. All while Regina just sat there and looked stupid. And after Regina immediately gets up she slowly follows Emma, instead of teleporting.

Emma and Regina vs Ingrid- Ingrid tried to kill them TWICE, and when Ingrid appeared right in front of them instead of attacking, Regina says she's tired of playing games. When Ingrid starts to strangle her,Emma begins to tell Ingrid to stop instead of attacking.

Regina vs Zelena round 2- we see Regina hands go up for the always instant magic blast, but before the INSTANT magic blast could be emitted from her already extended hands, Zelena hand time to extend her hand and release a wave of energy to win.

It seems the character that the writers want to win always gets the quick draw, even when it's illogical.

Sorry for the rant but I have been thinking this for a while.
