About the ranking, i do not agree to put ingrid and Emma (Emma can stay  aboce than in the future but not now ) above cora and regina, rumple himself said indirectly that cora is more powerful than ingrid and said that the evil queen was his best apprentice (really I do not think that ingrid is  more powerful than the evil queen, if you want I list the facts)

ps: pan doesnt resisted rumple magic, rumple who chose to sleep only the lost boys

We're looking only at raw power here, skill level is something else entirely. Emma's pretty powerful, but she just doesn't care to learn how to properly use her magic. Ingrid's magic seems to be amiguously limited to ice and snow, althoguh she has been able to cast unrelated simple magic spells. But they're both quite powerful.

And Ingrid was never Rumpel's apprentice. He really just met her that one time and never really looked into it further.

And taking the 3x16 letter into account, Rumpel's most powerful student was Zelena. What Rumpel calls Regina in 5x22/23 is "his best student"; Zelena may have been quite powerful but she wasn't nearly as submissive to Rumpel as Regina was. She couldn't be called his best student under those behavioural circumstances
