I mean, if they're only using it to spy, then that would be fine; both teams have the power to do that, the only issue I had with the mirror statements was that one side was able to use it while the other couldn't, and for the same intents and purposes, like saying Team Cora could just spy on Team Ingrid without them spying back. If we rule out the mirror's use as a magical weapon, and instead use it as a magical object, as long as the magic of the object is one of the team members, it would count as a magical object that is part of their power. In a similar case, if Zelena didn't attack, but instead healed and enchanted her teamates, she would technically be able to continue with her pendant.

On the topic, if, in the case that the mirror is considered a magical object through the use of spying purposes only, without intent to harm, thereby being a weapon, then it could also be used as a means for transportation as well. Regina could send Cora or Zelena into a pocket mirror, throw them somewhere and have them released, making a pretty well-coordinated suprise attack.

We can also allow Ingrid's team to use their illusions, which so far require the form of the illusion to be standing in front of the mirror being used. If that's the requirement for each illusion, they could just stand between two mirrors facing eachother and create infinate illusions of themselves, snow and ice golems, as well as other mirrors. Seeing that amount of power would at least deter or confuse Team Cora, giving Ingrid's chains a chance.

Also, about the Viking, didn't Ingrid create it to distract Regina and Emma so that she could talk to Elsa? I mean, she created an impassable ice barrier around the entirety of Storybrooke that also regenerates itself and grows larger as a defense. I don't think a self regenerating Viking would be that impressive anymore. I mean, if they saw what they could do with the Viking, why didn't they ever think of trying it out on the barrier? Unless they did and it didn't work. Honestly, if you're capable of creating a city-wide barrier that does all it does, I wouldn't expect less of a regenerating Viking. Then again, it was Elsa that created the barrier, Ingrid only grew and let it regenerate, but still, anything city-wide is impressive, especially if it can't be broken by Regina, or even the Savior herself.

And remember, Emma's magic is heightened when her emotions are spiking, so by killing Ingrid or Elsa, Team Cora could end up like the prison wall after Ingrid mocked her. Emma also has protection against falling, her telekinesis will just grab everything around her to create a platform, and Emma probably knows that's what Regina will try to do, seeing her inclination to do so during their training, and asking Ingrid and Elsa to create some bars of Ice so that she can manipulate should this occur. Oh yeah, Emma's telekinesis allows her to move any object, so she can have a false form of cryokinesis by throwing chunks of ice at people.

Zelena IS the strongest of the team, like we've agreed on before- wheras it took both Regina and Cora to break Emma's protection spell, Zelena broke one put up by both Emma and Regina. She better come back and kick some butt this season, lol (hopefully get revenge from Gold ;) ).

Though she is the strongest, she's also the most arrogent though. She always thought she could beat everyone, and never turned them into monkeys (or couldn't, probably has a max amount of people she can turn, like Ingrid and Elsa), even when it could've saved her life. Heck, she could have commanded the Dark One to allow her to turn him into a monkey, that way, she wouldn't even need the daggar to control him.

Idk about this rant, but how come no one's ever thought to enchant the daggae so that only they could hold it? Gold could have saved himself from a LOT of trouble...
