I will agree. The show has weird powerscaling and all in all, it never gets shown.

At best, his biggest feat is tethering all of Storybrooke's magic to the crystal. Otherwise, Rumple never is showy. Even when he was the only big honcho around in earlier seasons, he never has done anything that could match the number and variety of spells Regina has performed (although everything she knows is from him).
