Rumpelstiltskin - I would rank Rumple as the most powerful out of the ones you mentioned. Emma - This could just be me, but I would rank Emma to come after Rumple, as she is certainly very powerful, and might very well even have latent potential that we've not seen yet. Cora - Cora was highly feared, notably by Regina, and even worthy of Rumple to give her thought. Zelena - Zelena was pretty could with magic and could only be defeated by light magic (though, I would say Rumple could've just bypassed the and have outright just killed her if she wasn't controlling him), but should but was nothing like any of the magic-users above. Pan - Pan seemed pretty weak, at least compared to Rumpelstiltskin, but his ability more lied in being able to psychotically ware down a person, and play with their mind.

I could do a complete rundown if you want.
