''I put Zelena up above Zelena to hold them to not be retroactive. Zelena was claimed to be the most powerful sorceress Rumple knew (?, but that was before he saw Ingrid again). Therefore I assume she is with the pendant, but without I assume she drops right below Ingrid.''

But Regina managed to defeat Zelena, while she was wearing her pendant. Which goes to show that being more powerful doesn't save you from being defeated by someone regarded as less powerful.

By the way, I don't buy that "Light Magic is more powerful than Dark Magic" crap. The whole thing smacks of infantile writing for people with the morality of a seven year-old. I agree with what you said about light vs dark magic; technically magic is magic, and whether it is light or dark really depends on the heart of the one using it; evidence of this is seen when Regina did defeat Zelena as she was able to access and use "light magic." But certainly light isn't necessarily more powerful than dark bc Zelena could defeat Glinda with little to no effort, so power and strength rely with the individual user.
