Amped Zelena was at best one tier higher over her normal self than being above them at any rate. She broke the laws of magic (season seven wonkiness notwithstanding); amped Zelena was the only being capable of that. Sure, being amped doesn't enormously incease her fighting abilities but it does increase her power to a higher point than anyone else we've seen. But anyone can do that time travel spell with those ingredients. That would be like saying “Cora stopped the Dark Curse!” When it was an item that someone else could use too. Except Zelena was the one to make the spell. Also, according to Rumpel, "time travel spells have been written but never cast". Either Zelena is more intelligent than any magic user that ever came before her or she's the one powerful enought to successfully create a time travel spell. She’s intelligent.

It’s not a raw power thing. Making something doesn’t denote power level, plus all she did was use common sense and used representatives of the good witches to cast her spell. That doesn’t show being on a higher level than the Dark One. I find it... unreasonable to believe that Zelena is intellectaully capable to create something that no one else could. You assume she's just that smarter than everyone else, in the entire history of magic and I just... don't see how. It wasn't "just common sense" is no one else could do it before.
