Knowledge can make up for what you lack in raw power, even more so, but not in all cases does knowledge of magic trump raw power. If your just talking about knowlege/intellect/manipulation, then I completely agree. (I thought the discussion was about magical spell knowledge vs raw magic power.)

It's hard to tell what anyone knows in totality though. For example, Jafar ran from Aladdin after being thwarted. Jafar has years of magical study and personal power, but he poofed out after Aladdin broken two of his spells. (Now, I headcanon that he went to go fix Amara, lol) Regina beat Pan, even with all the wit Pan had. Pan eventually one-upped her later.

On any note, I'm hoping for comparable feats between these bunch of magic users so we can actually gather a real tier list. Regina beat Pan in Neverland because Pan's magic was tied to neverland's, and Neverland's magic was dying at the time. Regina specifically says so in the magical vine scene. We're supposed to assume Pan somehow got more powerful in the Underworld.
