And even though  maleficent tries to use the sleeping spell,  regina also has that power, as well as paralysis (something maleficent has not shown ), Rapid transmutation (which maleficent did not shown), choke (which maleficent did not shown) and telekinetic restraint (which maleficent did not shown), neck break quickly (which maleficent also did not shown) so she also had several ways to win Maleficent quickly, not only with sleep magic, which is the only rapid incapacitation that maleficent has proved to possess. My apologies, I should clarify. When I mean Sleeping Spell, I mean the one where her staff emits a curse powerful enough to put the whole town to sleep (temporarily). No one else can do that. You are correct about everything else, Mal has not shown the other abilities however it doesn't mean that she can't do them - Regina is essentially the main character of the whole series after Emma so of course we get to see all of her abilities. Plus, Regina was (again) attacking Mal constantly while she didn't attack at all and only defended.
