EQ's magic is treated separate from Regina's magic. They treat EQ like Regina's twin sister rather than part of her. EQ's magic should be the same as Regina's magic and they've shown Regina put spells over Snow and David's heart that she could not break, even though they are the same person with the same magical capabilities and strength. That's a bit unclear. It was hinted in Our Decay and later established in Sisters that one cannot cure harm their own magic inflicted upon another, which is why Zelena couldn't cure baby Robyn's cut and Cora had to elinst Zelena's help to save Regina. So, by that logic, Regina and Queenie's magic should be separated. As for the Sleeping Curse, TLK not withstanding, no one can break it even if they cast it themselves, (see Ruby Slippers), so that's a different matter altogether.
