I don't see how "Regina already defeated Zelena already" means much. Zelena and Regina in season 3 were at worst 2-1, not including whenever Zelena owned her during any encounter. Plus, Regina hasn't used light magic since, so that's essentially a fluke. Even a greater addition is that light magic simply stuns her due to the amulet.

Black said Zelena is stronger than Regina. Separately, she said she needed Zelena's magic because it's unstable, which is why Black didn't use her own.

Which spells of the EQ/Regina could Zelena not break? I don't think she ever tried to break any spell by EQ.

I actually give Regina the edge over Gideon due to Zelena told her to keep Gideon busy, which she did, and that Regina was owned simply because she went for a fireball. (If we actually discounted every one hit battle, then Regina has never beat Zelena, because the show rarely has multi-hit battles). Plus, if we put Gideon over Regina, then Emma would tower over Regina due to the fact that Emma was owning Gideon left and right, despite his skill level. Skill level is obvious: Black, Rumple, Gideon, Zelena, and Regina trump Emma. Raw power stated seems that they are inferring: Rumple, Black, Emma, Zelena over Gideon and Regina.

I'd put it as:

Rumple, Black

Zelena

Emma

Gideon, Regina
