Here's my ranking:

Top level: Rumple (and any other Dark One) and Reul Ghorm

Level 2: Jabberwocky (she is pretty much a physical manifestation of fear and I think her powers can't work on Rumple because without darkness (the Dark One), there's no reason to fear. No one appears to be able to match Jabbie's powers.

Level 3: Nyx, Ursula, and the Shadow. They all seem to be very ancient and strong. The Shadow was probably easy to defeat in Storybrooke because I think it is at it's highest level of power while in Neverland. Ursula's a goddess and Nyx seems to have that same kind of vibe.

Level 4: Pan, Zelena, Jafar, Amara. Zelena was more powerful than Cora. Jafar and Amara are both extremely powerful if they are able to qualify as casters of a spell that changes the very laws of magic. We didn't see Pan use magic a lot but Rumple said that Pan's type of magic (that mostly has to do with youth, flight, shadows, souls (spirits)) is very strong.

Level 5: Cora (she's very powerful but I can think of no one who matches her, just people who are more powerful and less powerful than her).

Level 6: Regina, Emma, Anastasia, The Dragon, Maleficent, Glinda. Ana appears to be strong in magic, she just doesn't show it a lot. The Dragon is probably very powerful he just died before we could see it. Glinda's strong just not as strong as Zelena. If Glinda wasn't strong, she wouldn't be a member of the Sisterhood of Witches. Emma's not very powerful yet but it won't take her long. Mal equals Regina, Mal just lost their fight because the unicorn was there.

Level 7: The two portal jumpers: Jefferson and the White Rabbit (some people call Rabbit a world hopper though).

Level 8: Witch of the North, Witch, of the East, Siren, Seer, the two blind witches.

Level 9: Ulima, Nova, Silvermist, Tinkerbell, Fairy Godmother.

I'm not counting Elsa or Snow Queen yet because we haven't seen their powers enough to properly judge. By episode 4x09, I'll be able to list them on the scale.
