Here is the problem most people are facing. Zeleena magic was enhanced via the Necklace Glinda gave her. Her magic had been growing exponentially in strength for 28 years as she wasn't affected by the Curse. Where as Regina hadn't practiced Magic for 28 years and had a hard time getting it working via magic working differently in the Land without Magic. Also it has been confirmed by Rumple himself and Even Regina herself she isn't as powerful as the Evil Queen.

The Evil Queen on the other is much more powerful and bested Zeleena in knowledge and power. Zeleena for the life her couldn't undo the Barrier spell or the sleeping spell. Now I am saying The Evil Queen is on a whole other level versus Zeleena? Hell no. They are damn near Equals in that case.

However with that being said Regina with Light magic is superior to Zeleena with the Necklace. So Overall Regina is superior to Zeleena.

People keep bringing up raw power but Regina was said to be So powerful from Rumple. She just had a hard time learning Magic for the first few years. Same with Emma who barely could light a candle stick when she was starting to learn Magic. However it has been pretty much confirmed that Regina>Zeleena.

Also Black Words mean very little considering she has underestimated both Zeleena and Emma in power. Thus I am pretty sure she underestimated Regina. Everytime she needs to undo Regina she either sends Gideon or Rumple.
