Rumple has a lot of knowledge and experience, but I don't think matches Merlin's. But that's probably due to writing because the Sorcerer's wand still works, when it should have no power and Rumple shouldn't need to use that wand.

I agree that Pan is stronger than Dark One Rumple, or at least resistant. Rumple did a sleep spell and Pan wasn't affected at all.

The thing with Glinda is pretty weird and nonsensical. After all, all light magic is said to be born from love. Thus, Regina and Emma used the same magic in her light blast as does Emma.

Raw Power-wise.....you've got me. There aren't a lot of things that are solved by raw power besides the mirror test and Regina's statement. At best, I guess we have the impication that Fiona could beat Regina, but couldn't (or didn't) beat Emma. But I think we probably create a weird narrative with raw power. If it was out of 100 (aka Merlin level), then Regina would be like an 80 and Emma like 90. I think Regina and Cora are two steps shy of Dark One level and amped Zelena is almost on par.

I'd say 1-Inexperienced, 2-Novice, 3-Adept, 4-Expert, 5-Master

Zelena/Regina/Emma:

Skill: Master/Master/Adept

Knowledge: Master/Master/Novice

Raw Power: 4/4/5

Within there own magical field, Emma's beating nearly all non-Savior and Deity entities, perhaps except Blue with her original wand in terms of power. In Dark Magic not counting Deities and Fiona, Regina's top notch with the most powerful right below Rumple.

So, I guess the question varies.

Who can produce the biggest feat with a little time? Zelena or Regina. Regina struggles with some magical whatnots, but she tends to be a quick learner.

Who can casually produce the biggest feat off the bat? Probably Zelena or Emma. Regina's no slouch at all.

Who can produce the biggest feat with how much time they want? Regina and Zelena, no doubt, but Emma could too, but she'd take a lot longer.

Who can dish out the most damage in the limelight aka when dealing with emotions? Probably Emma, but Regina and Zelena could do so but their emotional baggage is pretty huge.

I mean if you tell me Regina versus Emma, I'll say Regina 6/10 because Regina's pretty slow at casting, but has decent reflexes.Regina will kill and has a variety of ways to go about things with her experience and skill, while Emma sort of reflexively toss out magic.

I actually think arguing them tends to be pointless seeing some things the show has shown. I think they probably roughly equal in the writers eyes.

If we took Regina's skill/knowledge and Emma's raw power, they'd easily topple amped Zelena and be a threat to the Dark One.
