Not necessarily. I was using essentially the same action to gauge feat. In other words, the test is comparing handwave protection spells (Containment/Barrier spells are inverted protection spells-ish) and who broke them under what intensity. Thus, this more comparable than Regina breaking a Petrification spell, thus being stronger than the caster when we never seen people break a petrification spell y wave except once. It's simply not comparable amongst others whereas most people have cast handwave protection spells.

HPS test

Example 1: Cora takes roughly half a minute to break Emma's protection spell. (Assumption: Chalk places, but Emma powers with no drop in quality.)

Example 2: Emma takes roughly six seconds to break Regina's containment spell.

Example 3: Amped Zelena takes 1 second to break Regina's protection spell.

Example 4: Blue spends roughly six seconds to utterly fail at breaking Rumple's protection spell.

However, this tells us very little at the end of the day and a few other example would be heavily assumed. At best, this simply compares Amped Zelena and Emma and says that amped Zelena is stronger than Emma, but that comes as no surprise. Plus, I don't think we've ever seen Regina try to break a handwave protection spell.

I don't use random spells being broken as we can't really compare it to anything else, otherwise Fairies are trumping Maleficent any day of the week as fairy dust broke her spell on Phillip.
