Protection Spells is speculated by me to be:

(1) You can't break the protection spell at all. This would mean that you are weaker than the caster. (Blue tried to break Rumple's spell in season 2 and got nowhere).

(2) You can break the protection spell over a brief period of time. This means that you are equal.

(3) You can break the protection spell easily. You are likely stronger.

But then this is complicated by the type of protection spell. There are protection spells formed from potioncraft and items, protection spells from a caster, and blood-magic protection spells. In oder of strength, caster's is weaker than potioncraft and blood magic.

But rambling over, the Author's power is never matched against anything. Assuming that Henry could actually write someone back to life in the underworld, then he's essentially close to Diety tier, but he's lesser. But Regina could as easily stuck a heart into some person (from her heart collection) and perform the same task.

Feats are essentially what many lack. From Rumple to the Author and beyond. The author per the writers words can only write history not fiction. per the writers words in a interview with EW! that happened recently.
